MA Show 2014

So after all of the hard work over the past year we finally get to see whether it was put to good use or not. Yes its the MA show here at Chelsea college. This years offerings seem to be extremely diverse with a fantastic array of styles, mediums and materials. We in the Wood Workshop have enjoyed the company of many of the students and congratulate them all on another fine show. Below are a collection of images taken from the show.

It's mid August already!

The temperatures may well have dropped a little outside but the heat remains fierce in the Wood Workshop as the MA students race to finish their work. August once again signals the final countdown for the students and the pace is fast and furious. The work is as ambitious as always with some very intriguing pieces being constructed and formed. Below are some examples of the work taken in the last week or so.
