Exhibiting locally and internationally, they have received numerous prestigious awards and are represented in museums, commercial galleries and private collections across the United States. With four dedicated sculpture studios, a covered exterior workspace and an exterior courtyard, the Sculpture Program emphasizes pluralistic approaches to sculpture as a means of visual communication. Diverse coursework is offered, including forging, mixed-media assemblage, welding, woodcarving, santero carving, glass casting and stone carving. Students are encouraged to gain an understanding of traditional and contemporary approaches to sculpture and how it complements other art disciplines. Advanced students have access to private studios on campus. The sculpture labs feature Mig, Tig, stick and oxyacetylene welders, plasma cutters, horizontal and vertical band saws, hydraulic shear, hydraulic roller and an array of forging tools. The wood fabrication lab has two table saws, one of which is a new Saw Stop safety saw, 36 inch and 20 inch band saws, jointer, planer, chop saw, wood lathe, 16-inch radial arm saw, sanders and a dust ventilation system. The woodworking lab has 12 European-style workbenches and woodworking hand tools. The 3-D multipurpose lab has a range of glass casting equipment including Denver glass kilns, glass cutting saws and a wet belt sander. There is also a hot wax pot and a plaster room. The courtyard has five storage sheds and a large area for stone sculpture and forged sculpture. A sculpture concentration is offered within the Associate of Arts in Fine Arts degree. Courses are designed for transfer to university or college studio art programs.
