What kind of sculptors are you looking for? Some of my favorites are:
Edmonia Lewis (19th c. American: very early African-American woman
stone sculptor)
Henry Moore (20th c. British)
Alexander Calder (20th c. American)
Daniel Chester French (American: did the Lincoln sculpture in the
monument, among other things)
Camille Claudel (19th/20th c. French: Rodin's studio assistant, model,
and lover and a terrific sculptor in her own right)
Louise Nevelson (20th c. American)
Eva Hesse (20th c. American, born in Germany)
Bruce Nauman (20th c. American)
That should get you started.

Bonita mentioned Viola Frey and I would add Ruth Rippon who taught at
Sacramento State, CA. Like Viola, makes big stuff. Another, older, is
Claire Stewart who took the name Sorcha Boru. She she had several
studios in the San Francisco Bay area but for most of the time was in
Menlo Park, working with her husband, Ellsworth. Worked from 1932 into
some time in the '50s. Here specialty was small stuff, figurines with
sort of a art deco style. F. Carlton Ball made sculpted heads as well
as lots of fine pots. He was at California College of Arts & Crafts
from the late 30s to 1950. These are all pre-Voulkos/Arneson.

Dear Liz, off the top of my head, here's a few:
One of the Masters in art History: Michelangelo--David, Pieta, etc.
Degas did the little Ballet Dancers. Picasso, of course, practically
invented found art sculpture; and Brancusi. Mirasol. David Smith.
Alexander Calder. Keith Haring . Jeff Koons. Louise Nevelson. In
ceramics: The late Robert Arneson; Viola Frey is Alive. So is Richard
Shaw; Michael Lucero. Judy Chicago. Patti Warashina.
Sorry I can't name more women artists, but there are many. And all that
wonderful Native Art of the Northwest. Vancouver has fabulous
bookstores and libraries. Ever use them?
Good luck--Bonita in San Francisco.

Liz,
Flip through a basic Art history textbook like Janson's History of Art to find
some sculptures that interest you. Which artist you choose really depends on
what type of project you are doing and your personal taste. Rodin is one of
my favorites. Contrast his bronzes like The Thinker and his marbles like The
Kiss. Or contrast that piece with Brancusi's The Kiss. Are you just looking
for visual info or do you need biography stuff on the artist? For just some
names I remember from my Art history classes many years ago try Donnatello,
Michelangelo, Carpeaux, Caulder, Moore,Canova,Houdin. A couple women would be
Louise Nevelson, Niki de Saint Phalle and Barbara Hepworth. Many famous
sculptures were done by artists whose name have been lost so if you don't need
bio of the artist check out Hellenistic Greek, Gothic and Romanesque
cathedrals,and other cultures that interest you. Even if you need the all the
art history info, start with flipping through the colorplates to find works
that inspire you to know more about their creators.
Good Luck. Hope this helps.
