sculpture
The Sculpture program is excited to
host a vibrant spectrum of workshops
that reflect the variety in current studio
practice. Sculpture workshops are material- and technique-rich, ranging from traditional metal fabrication to experimental
electronic work.
Our renowned sculpture faculty travel to us
from around the world. They work closely
with students through critical discussion,
material demonstrations and individual assistance. Instructors encourage exploration
and experimentation, emphasizing process
and idea development. You will leave with
far more than just finished pieces: you take
with you the tools and inspiration to drive
your studio practice to the next level.
Students work in a communal and interactive studio designed for all levels of experience and supporting traditional and nontraditional methods. The sculpture studio
includes a bench room and tool room, and
offers additional outside workspace.
