About the Instructor, Bruce Stanford

With a Master’s Degree in Economics from the University of California, Riverside, I have ten years of college level teaching experience the last seven years of which was teaching at the University of Hawaii. 

While in graduate school, I developed an interest in sculpting and started my own business while teaching in 1978.  I started out making bronze sculptures for sale in high end art galleries throughout Hawaii but as the years and circumstances dictated, I changed the emphasis of my business from the fine arts to the giftware industry. Employing three people I ended up selling my products in 28 different retail stores in Hawaii, Arizona, California and New Mexico.  Except for one introductory sculpture course taken at a community college and a bronze casting course at the University of Hawaii I am primarily self-taught as an artist.
