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.
