ceramic lab

This laboratory allows students to learn about different types of clay, understand their physical states, their preparation, the use of modelling tools and appropriate drying times. Attending the various levels of this workshop enables students to prepare clays suited to the complexity of their projects and also to explore methods and techniques for three-dimensional creation (e.g. rollers, slabs, moulds for filling or moulding), as well as learning surface coating techniques (e.g. engobes, glazes, stamping) and firing processes (for low and high temperature clays) applied to sculpture.

metal lab

The Metals Laboratory enables the application of various techniques and technologies related to metal sculpture work (welding, sheet metal modelling, structure construction, forging, among others). This laboratory also cuts across other courses, enabling the construction of a wide variety of objects using this technology.

plastic lab

This laboratory offers students the opportunity to experiment with plastic materials in their various material stages, whether in manufacturing, transformation, reuse, or recycling—from the petrochemical use of polymers to the use of bioplastics. Attending the various levels of the Lab enables them to learn the plastic language of these materials, for better adaptation to the sculptural project. Processes and techniques inherent to the properties and their three-dimensional possibilities are also provided, taking into account modelling, construction and moulding (e.g. hot moulding, formation of structures by applying fibres, heating and hardening stages, pressing, injection, folding, hot gluing, fitting).
