sculpture
The sculpture program enables 3-D artists of all levels to
open doors to new ideas, techniques and processes and
further expand their work. If you are a 3-D artist, or a
2-D artist considering expanding your scope into the next
dimension, there’s a place for you here.
The 2015 lineup of workshops covers a wide range of
philosophies, methodologies, materials, and equipment.
The renowned guest faculty works closely with you via
critical discussions, material demonstrations and individual
assistance. Exploration and experimentation are supported,
with an emphasis on idea development, process and sound
construction.
The 2,000-square-foot sculpture studio is a well-equipped
steel-based shop, with essential metal and carpentry
machinery, a full spectrum of tools, and a bronze casting
foundry. It is split into a bench room and machine/tool room.
An additional 1,500 square feet of outdoor workspace is also
utilized.
New in 2015 is a CNC plasma cutter, and several workshops
integrate digital technology. The blending of traditional and
modern processes offers ex citing new directions.
In every workshop, the Sculpture team creates an
accessible, safe and supportive environment for skill building,
experimentation, creation and the revelations that happen
along the way.
