Program Description

The Sculpture program at PAFA embraces contemporary and classical approaches across a broad range of art-making—from traditional figurative sculpture to video and installation art.

Students receive hands-on training from PAFA’s talented sculpture faculty about tools, materials, and techniques of sculptural composition and fabrication, figure modeling and carving, bronze casting, woodcarving, welding, plaster casting, foundry, and site-specific sculpture.

Students learn anatomy, sculpt the figure from the life model, and cast their sculpture in the bronze foundry. Advanced courses offer guidance on getting commissions and creating public sculpture.

Sculpture students receive private studios while also having access to large common studios and excellent sculpture shops and tools. The Annual Student Exhibition is a chance to exhibit professional quality sculpture and site-specific work.
