Manifestations (and Intersections) of the Inner and Outer Life

Sep 5 - 9, 2022

9AM-5PM

Concept

In this experimental, mixed-media sculpture workshop, students use an assortment of materials (natural and/or manmade; found or purchased; ephemeral or enduring) to hone sculpting and fabricating techniques including mold-making, casting, assemblage and earth modification. The workshop begins by establishing a question-based methodology for making art. This critical process of interrogating oneself about body, ideas, beliefs, memories or personal history and the world serves as a prompt for making work that thoughtfully synthesizes one’s unique process, form and content. The ultimate aim is to uncover ways to bridge the personal and the cultural within art-making.

Media & Techniques

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.
