Sculpture Lab

The new Three-Dimensional Art Laboratory at RSU is one of the few university art studios in Oklahoma to merge the study of sculpture and ceramics into a single state-of-the-art facility. The combination of the two disciplines falls in line with the RSU focus on multidisciplinary education, or integrating different subjects into a more holistic method of instruction.

The 3,150-square-foot lab features a large multipurpose room for sculpture and ceramics instruction and creation, a room for woodworking and the creation of plaster molds, a computer room, welding room, 25 student lockers, a large bay for receiving deliveries and removing large projects, and storage space for raw materials and projects in various stages of development.

State-of-the-art equipment in the 3-D Lab includes a new computerized kiln, clay mixer, clay slab roller and seven new potter’s wheels, one of which is wheelchair-accessible, operated by hand controls instead of a foot pedal. The building also features a highly efficient ventilation system, which removes dust generated by making clay and fumes from chemicals utilized in the process.

The Three-Dimensional Art Laboratory is located in a new building on the west side of the Claremore campus, accessible from University Drive on the east and Colonel Horne Drive on the west.
