Sculpture actually occupies three lab areas, the main studio, the wood shop and the welding area.
The main studio is a spacious room with huge windows that give students a lot of natural light, storage lockers and big work tables. There they can carve stone using chisels and rasps or work outdoors with pneumatic power tools to hasten the process. Off the main studio is a mini-wood shop with a drill press, a band saw, miter saw and a stationary belt sander, which all art students are invited to use to build stretchers or for framing two dimensional work. In addition to the stationary tools, students have access to a large tool cabinet with several dozen small power tools and hand tools, which include grinders, planers, jig saws, power carving tools, and the likes. The welding area is on the street level in a garage space.
