Flexible, creative, sculptural responses inform the individual experience in our sculpture curriculum.

Courses use sculpture to encourage an open exchange of ideas, to facilitate communication, and to nurture discovery through play and research.

Our courses also introduce computer-aided design with a fabrication component to facilitate the transformation from digital concept to the real world. Critiques and discussions are a major part of the sculpture curriculum. SMFA’s facilities support a broad range of material fabrication techniques from forging to resin-casting to 3D printing.
