At Anderson Ranch , our sculpture program offers a vibrant spectrum of workshops that reflect a variety of studio practices . At the confluence of tradition and technology , these programs are material and technique rich , ranging from classical metal fabrication to experimental digital production . Students work in communal and interactive studios designed for all levels of experience , supporting traditional and nontraditional methods . The sculpture studios are fully-equipped with advanced machinery and offer additional outside workspace . Our renowned sculpture faculty work closely with students through critical discussions , material demonstrations and individual assistance .
