Overview

This studio introduces you to a wide spectrum of contemporary art practices and interdisciplinary methods. You will experiment with image making and sculptural forming processes across our studio workshop areas. From these experiments you will begin to situate your practice in relation to historical and contemporary contexts. Reflection and peer discussion will support the first steps toward developing your own material language.
