Sculpture: Craft

This will be a creative studio course dedicated to the unrivaled experience of making things. Throughout the history of sculpture is a repressed history of "craft," a term that refers, often pejoratively, to objects skillfully made out of wood, metal, ceramics, reeds, dried pasta, textiles, or glass. Students in this class will engage in a selection of these techniques to make craft objects that critically examine the distinctions made between them and what we call "sculpture." Inherent to these investigations will be a critical examination of craft as well, how it's traditions and techniques might also be questioned and made new.
