Overview
Develop your skills in a variety of sculpture practices and experiment with a range of 3D media
Sculpture encompasses a variety of skills and techniques enabling you to develop professional approaches to a range of making processes, including welding, casting, modelling, carving, assemblage and digital processes. It can also incorporate installation aspects of sculpture allowing you to work in a multidisciplinary way.
The BA (Hons) Fine Art with Sculpture programme is built around the key area of sculpture and will encourage you to experiment with other 3D media including soft materials and textiles. This route allows you to commit to this discipline area of sculpture and explore a variety of traditional and experimental, hand and industrial processes.
You will make use of excellent facilities that support a wide range of practice while being supported by technical workshop provision to enable you to achieve the highest quality art production. Our expert workshops will introduce you to metal, wood, and ceramics and provide you with demonstrations in techniques and processes such as stone carving, 3D scanning and printing.
Main studio, workshop skills and activities include:
- Welding and metal working
- Carving wood and stone
- Ceramic sculpture
- Bronze, aluminium and Pewter casting
- Plaster casting and modelling
- Wood work
- Digital processes – 3D scanning, CAD, 3D printing
- Installation and live art: appropriated materials, site-based and gallery-based work
- Drawing: drawing is seen as important element in the development and realisation of ideas and is the basis of the initial studio work

The Course
Select a year
Studio Practice One
Studio based learning is by one-to-one or group tutorial, small group discussion and cross level peer group. There are visiting lectures most weeks who do a talk about their own work and offer you tutorials. You will be set a series of experimental research and drawing based activities that will challenge your ideas about 2D and 3D art and gently drive you towards the beginnings of a self-directed material practice and greater independence.
Teaching and Assessment
Learn in a student-centred environment and thrive as an artist
You will be taught through small lectures and seminars along with peer group critiques in the studio which will support your independent, self-directed work. You will learn to create your own negotiated pattern of work as you move towards an exhibition for your degree show in your final year.
You will experience a wide variety of approaches to learning through core and optional modules that build to form an incremental approach to fine art practice. The development of knowledge and skills is encompassed through the use of a wide range of materials, media and processes in studio and workshop activity to develop your practical skills and subject knowledge. The integration of the cultural, critical and theoretical debate and inquiry provides you with the ability to contextualise your work within academic frameworks.
You will experience a combination of practical assessment (including a public degree show at the end of year three), report writing, essays and presentations, using clear assessment criteria that reflect achievement.
