Sculpture Area
The Sculpture program is located at the centre of a large woodworking shop, a synthetics and casting area, and a metalworking shop.
The woodworking shop contains a wide range of hand and portable power tools, as well as large and small band-saws, two table saws, two drill presses, a range of disk, belt and spindle sanders, compound mitre saws, a wood lathe, and a large jointer/planer.
The metalworking shop includes gas, arc, and spot welding equipment, a plasma cutter, a grinding room, metal band-saws and cut-off saws, two drill presses, a lathe and milling machine, assorted rollers, brakes, and dies for shaping, a large metal shear, and basic forging equipment.
A foundry equipped with an electric induction furnace capable of melting 50 lbs of aluminum or bronze supports various forms of metal casting.
The synthetics and casting shop provides a range of mold-making and casting processes including plaster and plaster bandage, vacuum-formed plastics, and various molding rubbers.
The area houses two vacuum-form machines, a large fully-enclosed spray booth, and a separately ventilated resin-casting area with supplied-air hood system for working safely with casting resins and glass-fibre reinforced projects.
Three Technicians staff these areas, providing safe access to resources, group demos for curriculum, and one-on-one technical support in their respective areas of expertise.
