Art Rods
3D design with moldable rods.
Students use Art Rods modeling material to learn the fundamentals of 3D design, sculpting, and form.
What students do
Every session is hands-on and project-based. Students collaborate with a vetted teaching artist, work through structured challenges, and leave with something they made — a model, a recording, a portfolio piece, a finished dish, or a performance.
Who it's for: Students curious about Art Rods who learn best by building, making, and doing.
