Objective

The students will be able to:
• apply historical and modern techniques and modes of expression in metal sculpture.
• use different methods of metal sculpture and develop their own three-dimensional expression from a wide and innovative perspective
• work while observing occupational safety and environmental considerations
• plan and scale their work for the time frame allowed
• work as an active member of a group while developing its work

Content

During the workshop, the students will learn the qualities and behaviour of metal as a sculpting material. The focus areas include the tools and safety in metal work, the theory and practice of metal casting and the development of individual expression in relation to the discussed methods and materials.
The workshop may be held as a separate course or its content may be linked with projects that have already been started in other sculpture workshops. Workshop-based courses require regular attendance. The workshop schedule is to be confirmed later.
