Sculptural Weaving
Explore and invent various ways of weaving into three-dimensions. Learn the fundamentals of sculptural weaving techniques based on traditions that go back thousands of years: twining, plaiting, coiling and random weave. Use traditional and non-traditional materials; learn to use these techniques as a springboard to adapt, integrate and explore your own sculptural interests and material choices. Every technique taught is complemented by slide lectures and discussions examining the adaptations and significance of weaves in contemporary and traditional cultures. ...more

Project: radical discontinuity
We explore the concept of radical discontinuity. We make works that do not follow linear narratives and are not in the service of constructing meaning. Instead we take our cues from other creative processes such as: chance compositions, accidents through experimentation, misreading of forms, presentations of emptiness, disregard of an object's identity and a whole host of non-intentional ways of making art. Free of ego and the expectations we place on art objects, we make art that facilitates an appreciation of experience, as makers and viewers. We find a way out of the predicament of contriving objects for an anticipated and consuming audience and create sculptures that obstinately resist their objectification. ...more

Shaping Wood: the line between form and function
The line between form and function has been widely explored in art and design, yet it remains a moving target. Come to create objects that further blur arbitrary and shifting classifications. We encourage curiosity, experimentation and a clear point of view as you modify milled lumber or found wood objects with shaping and carving techniques. We cover concept development, project design and fundamental hand tool techniques as well as safe operation of wood shop machinery. ...more

From 2D to 3D & Back Again
Explore the relationship between drawing and the third dimension. Drawing is treated as a circular path rather than a one-way street leading into the three-dimensional world. We investigate work in sculpture and installation to challenge and reinvigorate their relationships to drawing and vice versa. ...more

Material Drawing: adjusting tension
How do you build or release metaphorical, physical and psychological tension? Through material choice, relationships, context and activity, to name a few. We explore using everyday fiber materials such as string, wire, tape, paper, cloth and elastic along with other found and favored hard and soft materials. We work between drawing and sculpture discovering how materials used in relationship can achieve meaningful degrees of tension and release. ...more
