Here's a little taster of what we do



Coleg Sir Gar's Sculpture Department is unique and exciting as it is the only place in Britain that teaches traditional sculpture in the form of casting in Iron, Bronze and Aluminium, fabrication, construction, wood and stone carving. The course is specifically modified to develop traditional and contemporary sculpture techniques whilst allowing the students to develop their own personal creative practice. The following images are just a taster of what the department is producing on a weekly/monthly basis.
