Catch-up and additional induction dates

Posted on by

Hi All,

Following the last intense induction week we have another few dates to bare in mind where the workshop will be closed to general access until those who missed out have completed the induction process both here and at MMU. Dates to take note of. MArch will be confirmed asap.

 B.15 Induction MA Architecture and Urbanism – Monday 8th October AM

Closed to general access Due to First Year Lecture – Wednesday 10th October AM

B.15 Induction 1st Year Catch-up session – Friday 12th October AM

B.15 Induction MArch Catch-up session – TBC

A note to MArch returning students:

Even though you will be familiar with the workshop having been here for your undergrad we are legally obliged to re-induct you to our working practice. It is therefore still necessary for you to attend an induction or you will not be allowed access to use B.15 or MMU workshops.

See you soon,

Scott and Jim

Happy New Year and Welcome Back Updates

Posted on by

Hi All,

Hope you have had a good break and time to recoup for the next few months.

Part of the UoM server went down over the break resulting in our blog going down but thankfully everything is intact and we are back online. Apologies for any inconvenience this caused anyone.

****Workshop Opening Times January/February****

This year we will be hosting one of the 5th year workshops between 25th January and Monday 8th February.

This will mean a shorter working day for these two weeks with the workshop only opening from 11.00 till the normal closing time of 16.30.

New Materials

We have a couple of new additions to our materials stock this term which as usual are subject to availability so be sure to check before beginning your project planning

Finnboard

Anyone who has been inducted this year or last will have been told about this product which 4D Stock. This pulp board has a great range of applications due to its ability to form shapes when wet which are maintained when the board dries. Recommended for sketch and development models but there’s no reason it couldn’t be used for more advanced models as well.

Metal Effect Silver Styrene Sheet

One of the most common questions asked of what can be cut on the laser cutters is metals. Whilst this isn’t possible we have bought in this substitute which is a metallic styrene plastic sheet. This can be laser cut and worked as with other styrene or acrylic sheeting and should serve as a suitable alternative for some cases.

Scale Trees

We have a small selection of high quality brass etched and flocked scale trees. These are available from 4D Modelshop in a much wider range of sizes and styles. Samples of those available from 4D Can be seen in the workshop. We have a small stock of the following:

Medium Green, Copper Beech, Cork, White and Bare Branch

Don’t forget to register for your 10% student discount if you buy anything from them quoting either myself or Jim as your tutor when asked.

New Reference Book

Advanced Mouldmaking and Casting, Nick Brooks, 2011

DSC05333

This book provides a thorough guide with case studies of mouldmaking and casting with a variety of materials. Whilst our facilities of this are limited we hope this book will guide you to approach this method with more confidence as well as see what is possible outside of a workshop environment. As with all our books you are welcome to use as reference within the workshop but please don’t take out.

See you all soon,

Scott and Jim
