Preparing for the bronze pour at Industria Studios

Arizona Sculpture Society was formed to allow individuals to further explore their individual creativity outside of a classroom  environment.  Members are allowed studio time and use of studio tools and equipment to create their own artworks.  Membership in the society provides the opportunity to interact, share ideas, and build associations with other artists.

ISI offers numerous courses and workshop opportunities for individuals to explore the fine arts through short-term affordable classes. The classes include Sculpture (Multiple types from bronze casting to kinetics), 2-D Painting including making your own canvases, Photography, and a special course on Designing & Building Musical Instruments.
