We seek to attract a wide range of applicants from differing cultural backgrounds, reflected in their sculptural practice. We welcome applications from experienced artists and those with substantial professional experience who may not hold formal academic qualifications. Programme structure MA Sculpture is taught in the studio full-time over 48 weeks and is split into two distinct stages. Both stages feature optional study visits to New York and a major European city, which are subsidised by Winchester School of Art. Stage one You will begin with short introductions to the Library, IT facilities workshops and health and safety, and also participate in a Degree Show crit and seminar with out-going MA students.
Work is presented in slide seminars and individual tutorials.
The week-long New York study trip takes place at the end of the first set of seminars, providing you with the opportunity to visit both contemporary and historical collections and engage in onsite critical debate. At the beginning of phase two you present work for assessment and your progress will be discussed. At the end of phase two the mid-year exhibition takes place in the Gallery at Winchester School of Art. Stage two Stage two of the programme reflects increasing ambition, both in concept and practical realization of work. Lectures, tutorials, group crits and visits by practising sculptors reinforce this activity.
