SCULPTURE AND INSTALLATION at UC Berkeley have a long and rich history, beginning with the founding of the university in 1868. The Department of Art Practice sculpture studios offer a superb range of possibilities for learning about fabrication in a full range of media and formats. Students studying sculpture can learn traditional techniques in a facility equipped to handle metal fabrication, gas/arc/MIG and TIG welding, wood construction, mold-making and casting, digital fabrication, and installation/site-based practices. From introduction to advanced courses, students are taught the fundamentals while challenging of In addition, students have access to multiple courses and facilities across campus that teach 3D scanning and printing, laser cutting, and other forms of digital fabrication. Advanced students participate in a course that allows them to pursue individual interests–including mixed-media formats and public art–with an emphasis on development of concepts, skills, and techniques.
