Concept
In this workshop students learn several workflows for translating a handmade clay sculpture into a digital model and then back into a physical object that is augmented, transposed into new materials, changed in scale, and edited in appearance. These workflows are geared toward sculptors with an interdisciplinary approach and an interest in learning fundamentals of 3D design and animation. The workshop familiarizes students with CNC machining, laser cutting, vector plotting machines, 3D photogrammetry, 3D model topology, UV mapping, Autodesk Maya, Autodesk Mudbox, and SculptGL.

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.
