We’re creating a New Online Resource right here… With your help!

Our workshop is used in the creation of literally hundreds of projects every year. Sadly many of these projects go out of the door never to be seen again or appreciated by up and coming students. In an effort to change this we are going to be requesting that either myself or Jim be able to photograph your work before it leaves us!

 Here are some of the benefits to us doing this: 

  • A rich online photographic reference source for all Staff and Students.
  • Helping students to understand the potential from our facilities by viewing others achievements.
  • Brief project descriptions will help to understand scale of models and its importance in the messages a project is trying to convey.
  • Categorised tags on images will allow an easy search of specific model types, material types, individual students work and processes used.
  • Students names will also be included as tags allowing each student to build up an online portfolio of projects completed for use in self-promotion.

We hope you will see the great potential this could have as a resource and help us build on it from now on.

See you in the workshop! Scott & Jim

ITV Coronation Street model

This 1:250 site model was made for Jenkins Design ahead of the proposals for the new Media City UK site at Salford Quays. The model was used to convey the proposed site details and their relationship to the existing roads and the Manchester Ship Canal.

Dwelle Project

Posted on by

Some of you will be familiar with the Dwelle project by Manchester based Architect Ric Frankland. The eco home project has been on going for several years with this year taking things to another level thanks to the half scale cross section model built in our workshop! The model was built over 2 weeks and gave students and first-hand insight into the full scale construction of these contemporary Eco homes.

The project has gone on to be displayed at events at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall and the Manchester Arndale and will continue to travel further afield in the next month… stay tuned for more on this!
