The Sculpture Program incorporates diverse forms of art making, encouraging cross-disciplinary opportunities with other CCA programs such as Architecture, Ceramics, Furniture, Glass, Industrial Design, Jewelry / Metal Arts, and Textiles. Some students also combine their sculptural interests with film and video in Media Arts interface and robotics courses, creating dynamic installation work and kinetic sculpture.

Students determine their individual directions under the guidance of the faculty members, who are prominent professional artists practicing a wide range of contemporary approaches.

On the Oakland campus, the sculpture facilities include the Shaklee Building; the interdisciplinary Barclay Simpson Sculpture Studio for sculpture and glass, which features one of the largest working college foundries; and the Treadwell Ceramic Arts Center. The Shaklee Building includes a metal fabricating and welding shop, a bronze foundry, a plaster studio, glass facilities, a woodworking shop, and an overhead crane.

Sculpture students may also take advantage of the Media Arts facilities on the Oakland campus and the Wornick Wood and Furniture Studios on the San Francisco campus. Seniors have access to individual studios on the Oakland campus.
