Beyond Flat: An Introduction to Creating Curved Sculptures

with Marc Fish

$650

$575 tuition + $75 material fee

About this Workshop

This focused two-day course introduces the sculptural possibilities of laminated veneer, guiding participants through the process of creating curved wooden forms. Inspired by erosion, relics, and layered textures, the workshop emphasizes both technical skill and playful experimentation. It covers different techniques from the five-day course, making the two classes a seven-day learning experience when taken together. By the end of the course, each participant will have designed and created a small sculptural piece while learning skills that can be applied to future sculpture, furniture, model making, lighting, or installation projects. This course is ideal for designers, makers, and anyone curious about taking curved work into sculptural territory. No prior experience is required, just an openness to experimentation and hands-on making.
