Facilitated Studio Practice: Sculpture
Jan 9 - 27, 2023
Monday-Friday, 9AM-5PM*
Concept
Anderson Ranch’s Facilitated Studio Practice approach provides artists the opportunity to work on independent projects while receiving regular one-on-one mentoring and critique sessions with Anderson Ranch artistic staff and interns. Each participant receives an assigned studio space, orientation and access to equipment, as well as five hours of weekly technical guidance in the Ranch’s state-of-the-art facilities.
This program affords artists the experience enjoyed by national and international artists who access our state-of-the-art studios. Participants may expand their practices, take artistic risks, try new media or complete works for exhibition.
Applicants must submit project proposals or portfolios for approval. A limited number of participants will be accepted and rigorous health and safety standards, as well as social distancing requirements, must be followed.
*Studios are open 24 hours a day and on weekends for students enrolled in multiple weeks, with limited use of equipment due to safety requirements. The machine room is only available when monitored – weekdays 9 AM-5 PM & Tues./Thurs. 7-9 PM.
- Facilitated Studio Practice winter sessions run January 9-27 and participants may register for one, two or all three weeks.
- Cost is $1,000 per week.
- Private dorm rooms are available at Anderson Ranch for one, two or three weeks for an additional fee; please inquire for details and availability.

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.

Creative Reuse
Jean Shin
Tuition $1,250
Code S0907-24
By adopting creative reuse strategies in art-making practices, artists will transform everyday objects and discards into assemblages, sculptures, and installations. When researching a common object’s history, its use, circulation, and disposal, we see the devastating consequences of extractive practices and overconsumption on our planetary health. How can artists instead, use our junk and leftover scraps to hold memory, tell stories, and evoke regenerative possibilities? While salvaging and repurposing materials, artists explore innovative ways to infuse personal meaning, cultural significance, and ecological urgency in their artwork. This workshop is structured around group critiques, individual feedback, and studio time.

Sculpture: Object, Movement, and Installation
Anna Tsouhlarakis
Tuition $1,160
Code S1008-24
Sculpture encompasses a wide range of media that can be light, hurried, heavy, or immobile. Performance can embody a scope of experiences and can be thoughtful, improvisational, and ritualistic. Throughout the week, participants create connections between object, self, and location to explore the possibilities of different combinations of interactions. Participants produce work in varying scales using various materials, including found objects and plaster casts. Connections and experiments between the object and maker are then explored through performance and/or site-specific installation. Finding the balance between object, movement, documentation, and presentation is central to the workshop.

Pattern-Formed Enameled Copper Vessels
Nash Quinn
Tuition $1,160
Code S1109-24
In this workshop, we celebrate the limitless potential of the jeweler's saw by exploring the ways that this versatile tool can create an intricate, precise pattern in flat sheet metal. This pattern-forming process allows the metal to be folded into a volumetric, symmetrical 3D shape. Once the vessels are formed, we can begin to play with color by fusing powdered glass onto the surface of the metal, a technique known as enameling. This workshop is a great introduction to the world of small-scale precision metalworking. Must be 18 years old to participate.
