Sculpture Shop Access for CE Students

 Access to the Sculpture Shop for any CE student enrolled in a sculpture course begins on the first day of the scheduled class and ends on the last day of the scheduled class.  Like all students, CE students may not use a shop while classes are in session in that area.  All students using the shop outside of class time must be able to work independently with the materials and equipment they are using. CE students should feel free to ask the shop manager or shop assistants technical questions about proper use of tools or equipment.  Matriculating students will take precedence over CE students when there is any over lapping need for equipment.
