CONCEPT: Create sculptures of personal meaning while
investigating design, form, structure and ways in which
objects convey context in an introductory workshop that
encourages exploration. This workshop focuses on two-
and three-dimensional design and how the use of objects
— new and repurposed — defines form and conveys
meaning. Students are introduced to contemporary and
modern artists whose sculptural works exemplify the
language of two- and three-dimensional form. Through
presentations and demonstrations, you are exposed to a
variety of materials and techniques that highlight the use
of the found object in sculpture.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: We make small clay objects
from which silicone rubber and plaster molds are created.
We learn to mix and cast white concrete as we reproduce
the elements of our compositions multiple times. We go
on to examine individual ways of attaching the pieces
to the wall. Moldmaking and casting techniques are
demonstrated daily.
ACTIVITIES: The first part of the class consists
of presentations and a series of exercises aimed
at understanding the possibilities within patterns.
Participants develop multi-part compositions. Individual
and group feedback supports the development of each
project. The class wraps up with the presentation
and discussion of at least a segment of these modular
sculptures.
FACULTY: Mariana Garibay Raeke received her
M.F.A. in painting/printmaking from Yale University.
Her work is driven by an interest in the potential for
transformation contained in matter, and the wide range
of permutations that a specific material can assume.
Mariana teaches at Rutgers University, Newark, N.J.
Michael Lorsung
O
Set off on an exciting artistic path in an
introductory course that explores the possibilities
of metal, wood, found objects and plaster in making
three-dimensional forms. We participate in fabricating
processes associated with these materials along with
discussions involving design basics and idea building.
Students gain a strong foundation to establishing or
continuing their own studio practices. This workshop
focuses on basic safe tool and equipment use while
understanding a variety of materials. Build a foundation
for sculpture with four key materials in just five days.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: This workshop includes
fabrication techniques involving steel, wood, found
objects and plaster. Students weld steel, cut wood, pour
plaster and connect objects.
ACTIVITIES: The week includes daily lectures and
demonstrations in addition to daily one-on-one and group
discussions.
FACULTY: Michael Lorsung is a transmedia artist
based in Colorado. He received his M.F.A. from Ohio
University in Athens Ohio. His work investigates the
similitude between the value of craft objects, and that
of industrially produced goods. Michael is the Studio
Coordinator for Sculpture at Anderson Ranch.

This workshop provides participants the
opportunity to hone their skills with CAD, and put these
into practice using state of the art CAD/CAM equipment
to bring digitally designed components into reality.
Design, cut, and and shape material digitally, and then
use a cadre of traditional sculpture methods to synthesize
these ingredients into larger sculptural compositions.
This course provides the freedom to explore the place of
digital fabrication in a contemporary studio practice.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Students have access to staff
and faculty familiar with the specific CNC tooling, CAD/
CAM design software, as well as all of the metal, wood,
and other media fabrication facilities available in the
sculpture studio here at Anderson Ranch.
ACTIVITIES: Technical demonstrations involving CAD,
CAM, and machining, lectures, and one-on-one and group
discussions are central to the daily activites.
FACULTY: Vivian Beer is a studio artist based in New
England. She holds an M.F.A. from Cranbrook Academy
of Art and teaches at Haystack Mountain School of
Crafts, Penland School of Crafts, Purchase College, SUNY
and the Center for Metal Arts. Her national exhibitions
include public art in Winslow Park and Portland, Maine,
and Old Morse in Cambridge, Mass.
