CERT HE Fine Art: Sculpture

Our purpose built art school offers you individual workshops and studios for life-drawing, metal casting in our foundry, woodworking, plaster work, stone carving and metal fabrication. 

The course supports the development of your studio practice with an emphasis on learning the craft and skill of making sculpture within a conceptual framework. Lectures focused on contextual studies and dialogue enable you to position yourself and your practice in terms of art history and contemporary critical thought, in order to equip you with tools to map and research your own subject matters. This taught creative thinking ability associated with fine art sculptural practice is becoming increasingly important in the world of commerce and business.
