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. 66  andersonranch.org  970/923-3181  [email protected] sculpture skill levels:  Open to all - Students of any skill and knowledge level.
