24th Annual California Sculptors Symposium April 12-19, 2026
Location: Camp Ocean Pines, Cambria, California
Welcome to the California Sculptors Symposium (CSS), an annual, week-long program of workshops and demonstrations given by sculptors for sculptors at all skill levels.
Intimate hands-on sessions with expert instructors will improve your technique, inspire your designs and build your expertise. Participants return to CSS year after year to share their passion for working with stone, wood, metal and clay. It’s a place to learn, exchange ideas and recharge your creative batteries for both the novice and the seasoned artist.
Soon our talented lineup for the 2026 California Sculptors Symposium can be found on our About Page
Our host:
Camp Ocean Pines is an independent, non-profit camp and conference center, nestled in a pine forest overlooking the Pacific Ocean near the charming town of Cambria. The camp features bunk-style cabins, tent camping sites and delicious meals served in the main lodge. The program will keep you busy, but still provides time to relax with friends, stroll on the beach and visit nearby attractions.
Whether you are returning or attending for the first time, we look forward to seeing you in April!
