In the sculpture studio students will learn how to safely handle a variety of tools and equipment while exploring traditional and non-traditional forms of expression by working with different types of mediums such as plaster, wood, wire, metal, etc. utilizing all four basic sculptural processes: additive, subtractive, fabricate and casting. The equipment used by your class will be determined by your instructor and will be appropriate to the techniques covered in your class.
