1st Year ISD Project

Here are a few images taken whilst students from ISD 1st year were down with us making their models for the filming project. Really interesting to see how the dynamic of the student groups has worked this term within the workshop and it would seem to have been a really positive one.

1st Year Graphics Project

Here are a few images taken whilst the graphics students were in making their Dingbats. Another nice bunch who seemed to enjoy their time down with us and a welcome tweak on the project. Nice one Nigel!

FDA Diorama project

Here are a few images taken during the making of the Diorama

Phil with his new anti-dust breathing system. Just kidding. It's one of the projects!! 

We think this was supposed to look like this! 

Tasty Feedback!

We welcome feedback of any kind and we are never happier when it comes in the form of sugary treat! Feel free to keep this coming.

Hold yourself back Weng! 

Ahhh. Phil couldn't hold himself back!!

The homemade Swedish chocolate cookies were delicious and the Chinese rice biscuits were.... very thoughtful !

BA ISD Workshop Induction days

We run these sessions for the ISD 1st years ahead of their first making project. Each group spends half the day with us, learning about the workshop, our tools, machines and processes. They finish the session with a small making project so as to get them familiar with machine use immediately. Below is a selection of images taken from some of the sessions.

Group 4 ready to start their session. And they smiled the most!
