Each month, we host a studio visit or artist talk about sculpture and sculpture processes
Monthly meetings feature an artist talk, studio visits, sculpture demonstrations and member networking. Sculptors working in varied media share knowledge about their sculpture processes and techniques. Our artist network includes stone sculptors, steel sculptors, bronze sculptors, clay, ceramic, wood, light, kinetic and mixed media sculptors.
Our monthly meetings are scheduled for the 4th Wednesday of the month at 7pm.
We welcome your topic & host suggestions for future meetings.
Send suggestions to meetings@pnwscupltors.org.

eXtended Reality
Miguel Arias, Founder and CEO of Prefixa gave us a very visual look into the future. His work is making it easier for non-technical people to create and use 3D imaging to share and market sculpture. Imagine a 3D gallery where your sculptures can be viewed virtually in the round. Or, an AR (augmented reality) model that displays your sculpture in the viewer’s actual environment. This technology exists today.
