This course is aimed at students with some previous experience of sculpture wishing to develop their own individual sculpture practice. It is a mixture of single and group projects, individual tutorials and group debate, together with time on your own developing your practice. We'll encourage you to consider the themes and ideas that influence your art; we'll challenge your thinking and broaden your experience and expectations of sculpture. This course focuses on a contemporary approach to sculpture, and encourages independent and experimental work.

The course culminates in an end of year sculpture exhibiton in July, held in a London venue.

Course programme

This course focuses on both the material and technical aspects of sculpture practice within an experimental and progressive framework. You will undertake a series of projects designed to inspire you on aesthetic, technical and theoretical levels, as well as introducing you to practical methods such as casting, construction and assemblage.

Strong emphasis is placed on developing a good working practice that will allow you to confidently research and develop your own innovative designs for sculpture. You will be introduced to a broad range of sculpture, both contemporary and historical, and you'll be encouraged to experiment and develop experimental means and methods.
