Enjoy general work shop

This is the opportunity I wait for a long time to make something use pieces of wood and cutting machines.

The workshop is in level 5, Mathew Building, beside the sculpture department. Following signs for sculpture and ceramics, we get our destination. It is a big space for making wooden furniture and decoration. Normal automatic machines are just seen from TV series. I did not have the opportunity to do this handmade work in China because it is lack of this kind of space and machines and resource in my university.

The different machines are not difficult to control depends on how careful we listen to staff’s introduction and demonstration and compliance with the operating rules. The staff said observing the operating rules is very important and tells us two horrible accidents in this workshop lat year. Then he teaches us how to operate these machines to cut, drill and polish.

After about five hours’ working, there are two works in my hands, a cube and a photo frame. I enjoy this workshop in a deep happiness and I plan to do some decoration on them.
