Design days.

Well, we head seemingly ever faster towards the end of the first term and with that, December looms. Its been a vibrant few days with much of our time spent with various design students. Graphics, Interior Design BA and FDA Interior Design have all been busy with us along with the usual handful of Fine Art students. It's been fun and below you can see the results.

We are thinking of turning the workshop into a gym!

They're back!

So once again one of our favourite projects in the Wood Workshop is with us. The first year students from Graphics join us. This time around they have chosen a type face and are cutting out, as best as they can, there own initials. Below are a few images from the first handful of students.

Autumnal offerings

Despite storms, fireworks and fire alarms there seems little to dampen the spirit of the students as the Wood Workshop is seeing some real creativity and experimentation as we head deep into the first term. There has been a lovely buzz about the place over these first few weeks so long may that continue. Below are some images taken from the past days
