Exhibition of work by new members
Kate Ive
The exhibition will be drawn from a new body of work created and developed in my studio at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop and while studying abroad in Fabriano, Italy. Inspired by the processes involved in making traditional Italian paper and prints, I will install a combination of sculptures and drawings.

Louisa Preston
Dundee-based Louisa Preston presents an exhibition of new work produced during and since her 2010 Micro Residency at ESW. Based around an interest in architecture, the exhibition features an array of models and abstract sculptural forms, which allude to and examine certain theories and concepts of early modernist architecture and 60's Utopian designs.

Studio Events
Spread throughout the event, studio holders will give short talks about their practice. A selection of the studios will be open to visitors with work available to buy direct from the artist.

Work from the Sculpture Courses Programme
Selected works from EMERGENCE, the exhibition of work from the Sculpture Courses programme will be shown, with the chance to book on the new programme starting in October.
