SCULPTURE

Sculpture is a radically hybrid medium where traditional craft meets innovative tools, processes, and novel ideas about what an object can be.

In the Sculpture program, students are encouraged to investigate a dynamic spectrum of sculptural methods and techniques, develop unique presentational strategies, and acquire a rich material literacy. These investigations can exist as stand-alone objects, design prototypes, site specific engagements, multiples, wearable forms, performance props, installations, functional wares, and any number of other articulations yet to be realized. Access to our fabrication labs, presentations, and workshops with visiting artists, designers, craftspeople, critics, and curators enrich the experience, so students become engaged, skilled thinkers and makers.
