- [Joe] My name is Joe Girandola,
I'm professor of this sculpture course
called 3D Special Studio: Duck Tape.
I've emboldened my
students to try to come up
with new and grander ideas
to make giant sculptures
covered with Duck Tape.
My students have come up with
these ideas based on a theme
that the Avon Heritage Duck Tape Festival
has, uh, come up with every year
and they've created the
most amazing sculptures.
- [Jedidiah] The hard
part is trying to take it
from your head and put it on the paper
so that others can see
and help you give advice.
But also it's a good visual
to have in case you forget it,
sketch it out,
and then really go into detail
about the building process.
Like, how long do I
have to make these cuts,
where to put these pieces of wood at,
and then once you have
that, built your skeleton
and of course you're gonna run
into some bumps here and there, you know,
and it's part of the
adventure, it's awesome.

- [Wally] I just wanted to do something
that was accessible to people.
I think part of art is,
being accessible to all.
- [Jake] Now all of us are
new to building with duct tape
and building at this massive scale.
And so all of us are just constantly
just like trying to get each other's input
and trying to help each other out.
And it's more of a community than a class,
it's really really awesome.
