Summer Opening

 

Over the summer period we will be operating a booking service for all workshop facilities including the laser cutters, machine shop & materials shop.

Due to renovation works, annual leave and area setups there may be some short periods of closure. If you can book, we are open!

If you need to contact us for any information or advice please email, as we may be away from our desks and the office: matworks@sheffield.ac.uk

Have a relaxing break, we are looking forward to seeing you all back in September

2021 - 2022 George Porter Workshop

 

Wow!! What a year it's been!!

It's a pleasure to help support all your wonderful creations here at the George Porter Workshop this academic year. Students creative imaginations are what makes our jobs very special. From sensory LED garments to cutlery jewellery, from furniture constructed out of trees to sunny sandcastles...you've made it all and we wouldn't have it any other way.  

To celebrate, we have made a snap shot of just some of these moments because we're lovely like that.

We would like to say a huge thank you to all the students for making our year wonderful.

For those who have completed their studies, we wish you all the success and happiness in the future.

For those who will be returning, have the best summer break and we will see you in September. Don't forget to collect your materials/models from the Workshop shelving before 12pm Friday 1st July due to our big summer clear out. We will put out another reminder post in a week or two.
