BFA in Studio Art: Sculpture

Sculpture lets you shape ideas into powerful, physical experiences, whether intimate objects or immersive installations that transform how we see and engage with space.

Sculpture

If you choose Sculpture, you’ll explore three-dimensional form, space, and material through both traditional craft and cutting-edge technologies. Work hands-on with wood, metal, clay, fiber, and digital fabrication tools like 3D printers and laser cutters.

Sculpture here is about more than objects, it’s immersive environments, interactive installations, wearable art, and collaborative projects that push boundaries. Whether drawn to classic techniques or eager to invent new ones, you’ll have the freedom to find your own path and voice.

Our studios support a wide range of practices, including welding, mold-making, fiber arts, and digital media. Advanced courses encourage independent and interdisciplinary work, with options to integrate fashion, video, performance, and more.

Join a community of makers rethinking how art occupies space and connects to today’s cultural and environmental challenges. Your work can inspire change on any scale, from the small and poetic to the monumental and practical.
