Sculptural and Object Techniques

The methods used to make a three-dimensional sculptural or object work, spanning subtractive, additive and assembled processes. Belongs here: methods such as carving, casting, modeling, welding and assemblage. Does not belong here: the woven and stitched methods grouped under Textile and Craft Techniques, and the structural methods grouped under Architectural and Design Techniques. This is a grouping node for sculptural and object technique as a whole, distinct from any single named sculpture or sculptor entity elsewhere in the atlas.
