Good things come in small packages.

It's been a great start to the year with a flurry of making happening with us in the Wood Workshop. Not least down in Small Works where Stef has been overseeing the construction of a number of architectural models. It is such a fabulous environment to be in when we see such diversity in motion. Details small objects sharing a space with grand pieces. Below are some images of the making in Small Works taking place.

The Small Works workbench being put to good use. 

This delicate structure required a steady hand to glue the two sections together. 

This architectural model nears completion as trees are 'planted' to give it a sense of reality.

Removable walls allow for a camera to get inside and create some interesting images. 

Some of the second year Interior Design students have been working on some projects using acrylic. Here the body of the piece gets glued together. 

Here plastic tubes are pushed through two layers of acrylic. These will become drainage tubes for melting ice on top. 

This model is utilising the plastic material Styrene. It's easy to cut and glue and allows for some very lovely detailed models to be made. 

This model shows how different thicknesses of MDF can be used to achieve the various levels that might be required in a project.
