Hold yourself back Weng!

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!
