Art for the Garden will combine lectures, demonstrations, and hands- on art making.


Students will examine art, specifically sculpture, as it is used in gardens around the world. We will examine the work of several contemporary sculptors who design work that is environmentally sensitive, including artists like Andy Goldsworthy and Lorna Jordan.


Basic fabrication skills, including simple welding, basic stone carving, and work with concrete and mosaics, will be taught. Each student will design and construct at least 2 sculptures for a specific outdoor site. The course will accommodate students of all skill levels.
