The scope of the sculpture programme extends beyond the conventional boundaries of object-making to encompass a wide range of both traditional and contemporary materials and media; students acquire a practical and philosophical understanding of the subject of sculpture through the development of practical and conceptual skills with which to mediate ideas through materials and process; the environmental art programme is non-media specific, preparing students for working as artists in the contemporary world, not only in galleries and museums, but to make work in and for other contexts and places outside of the museum; this contextual approach to art is explored primarily through the public art project, which each student carries out in each year of the programme; together, the programmes and their staff offer skills and expertise in drawing, sculpture, object making, installation, performance and performance to camera and video, for a wide range of contexts including the gallery; each student has dedicated space in our spacious studio accommodation and has full access to workshops for casting, metal and wood working.
