By introducing elements of sculpture into your practice, you will be able to expand beyond the canvas and explore new methods of contemporary painting.

Through practical tutor demonstrations on popular low-tech sculpture techniques including woodwork and casting, you will experiment with different applications of paint. Using case studies on contemporary painters, you will be introduced to new possibilities of where your painting practice can go!
