Wood Fabrication Facility
Enabling students to realise their designs in three dimensions
Our specialist open-access Wood Fabrication Facility enables students to realise their designs in three dimensions. Housing a varied range of machinery, students can utilise band saws, pillar drills, sanders, and hand tools to make a variety of models and final designs.
Students can enhance their practice and skillset through our advanced specialist access training scheme. Here they can access advanced machineries – such as panel saws, surface and thickness planers, and wide belt sanders – and take advantage of opportunities to work with wood and metal lathes.
Our advanced specialist technicians regularly run enrichment sessions to encourage students to explore their practice in innovative ways. They can experiment with traditional processes such as steam bending, laminating, veneering, vacuum forming, wood carving and joint making.
