Fabricated Landscapes: Digital and Analog
Jul 17 - 21, 2023
9AM-5PM
Concept
In this exploratory workshop, students collage materials including industrial and repurposed materials into artworks that integrate form and content using both analog and digital fabrication methods. Beginning with a research-based methodology for making, we search for unique opportunities that each material and process can contribute as we synthesize and construct individualized forms. Fabricating with a wide range of media and combining traditional and digital equipment, we learn material-sensitive techniques for connecting, securing, and manipulating objects imbued with memory into personal vistas. As vistas just barely out of reach and simultaneously enveloping every moment, constructed landscapes can be simultaneously awe-inspiring and mundane.
Media
Traditional metal, wood, and fabric fabrication tools, laser cutter, CNC router, materials gathered on site, personal collections of materials, shared collections

Sculpture
Express your creativity and vision by exploring the limitless art of sculpture. At Anderson Ranch, our sculpture program offers a vibrant spectrum of workshops that reflect a variety of studio practices. At the confluence of tradition and technology, these programs are material and technique-rich, ranging from classical metal fabrication to experimental digital production.
Students work in communal and interactive studios designed for all levels of experience, supporting traditional and nontraditional methods. The sculpture studios are fully equipped with advanced machinery and offer additional outdoor covered workspace.
Our renowned sculpture faculty work closely with students through critical discussions, material demonstrations and individual assistance. Instructors encourage exploration and experimentation, emphasizing process and idea development. We complement this with a focus on process and sound construction. You leave with far more than finished pieces—you walk away with the tools and inspiration required to elevate your studio practice.
