Sculpture
The sculpture area at Lamar University is committed to engaging students with a diverse range of conceptual and technical approaches in the creation of three-dimensional art. The sculpture program offers instruction in a variety of media including metal casting, metal fabrication, wood construction, woodcarving, and mold making. The sculpture facilities include fully equipped and well-maintained wood, steel, cast metal, and ceramic shell studios. Students learn how to safely operate equipment and to use a range of hand tools while creating their personal vision. Our sculpture faculty challenge students to build both a strong technical and conceptual understanding along with a working knowledge of contemporary art and issues from which to work.

Wood Studio
Table saw, panel saw, stationary sanders, band saw, drill press, miter saw and numerous hand tools.

Metal Studio
