Our innovative Sculpture Expanded Practices curriculum integrates conventional sculpting techniques like woodworking, metalwork, and mold creation with textile arts and soft sculpture methods such as weaving, stitching, and needlework.

Beyond these foundations, the program provides exceptional access to digital fabrication tools and emerging technologies. Combining visual arts with multimedia elements like video, audio, interactive components, and performance, we constantly redefine the boundaries of sculptural material practice. This interdisciplinary, avant-garde program attracts creative minds and spatial thinkers eager to explore diverse forms including installations, public artworks, and three-dimensional creations.

Under the guidance of accomplished artists in studio-based classes, you'll develop core technical skills in wood and metal fabrication, casting processes, pliable materials, textile sculpture, and digital production methods. You'll explore both conventional and unconventional mediums, from physical constructions to digital and kinetic artworks, with increasing specialization options as you advance.

Working with distinguished faculty, you'll refine your artistic abilities while contextualizing your work within social frameworks, cultural movements, and modern aesthetics. By program completion, you'll have developed a substantial professional portfolio ready for various careers in the arts.
