Sculpture

Traditional materials and methods of modeling, carving, and casting three dimensional sculptural forms are covered in sculpture classes. Student exercises encourage the development of technical skills as well as the development of a meaningful content in their work.

The sculpture studio has facilities and equipment for carving, fabricating, welding, and casting. Classes encourage a variety of projects, using diverse creative materials. Our lost-wax bronze casting facility allows sculptures to be modeled, cast, fabricated, and finished within the studio workspace. The sculpture studio is located in Building 5, Room 102 B
