The start of spring semester with Material Transformation project,  students had to replicate an object of their choice and transform the material it was originally made from and change the scale. In between projects, a quick one day design challenge called “100 of One” where students had to design 3 different sculptural designs with the same object in a quantity no less than 100.

Three of my advanced Sculpture students worked with the City of Fletcher, NC Parks to add their work permanently.  Two of them are welded steel and the other is stucco/concrete with a steel inter structure.  Their work is now part of the cities collection and the start of the park’s sculpture grounds.
