Content

Students will focus on the technical principles of wood and metal construction and the possibilities of these materials in sculpture. During the course, particular attention will be paid to the structural properties of sculpture and the technologies involved in the presentation of works. During the course, the student will practice using the tools of the wood and metal workshop on the basis of various exercises. The student will also carry out a broader independent artistic work where wood and metal work play a central role. The student will actively participate in discussions, guidance and feedback on materials, tools and work safety and will pass the practical assignments.
