Sculpture
The Sculpture programme encourages practices that are speculative and reflective, supporting work in a range of media.
It is concerned with ways of learning that are experiential - embodied through and understood by the acquisition of a practice.
The ethos is based on developing a broad spatial, material and critical awareness through a range of approaches pertinent to the expanded field of sculpture in the context of contemporary art practice.

The programme develops from a broad to a specialist understanding of the technical resources and validating contexts in which artists work today, drawing inspiration and nourishment from the experience of our international student cohort.
