Atelier - Sculpture Barn

The Atelier offers a contemporary approach to traditional materials including metal, stone and wood sculpture. Beginner through advanced students are welcome. Bring your inspiration or project idea and realize it under the tutelage of master sculptor, David Boyajian.

We offer three 12 week semesters per year.
You may also sign-up for an 8 week class or 4 week workshop if space is available

Jump to Metal Class Schedule

Metal Sculpture classes combine the techniques of the modernists with today's technology. Designed to produce maximum results whether you are a first time welder or seasoned sculptor seeking a new direction. We offer 12-week semesters and when space is available 8-week classes or 4-week workshops depending on project expectations.

Wood & stone sculpture is available as an alternative and takes place in the adjacent studio during the metal classes. You choose your creative direction; organic, geometric or figurative, and learn to achieve contour and form from a solid mass. Finishing and mounting techniques are also covered. Instruction is based on direct carving techniques using chisel and hammer as well as pneumatic tools.

Atelier is the French word
for workshop, a place where artists work together
under one master.
