ESW’s spring and summer programme of sculpture courses for 2010



Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop offers a wide range of evening and weekend courses in contemporary sculpture designed for all levels of experience including beginners. Courses are led by experienced and supportive tutors and by limiting class size we ensure that you will receive individual attention. We are delighted to offer all course participants two free day sessions to enable you to come back and work at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop or to experiment further with techniques learned.
Please do contact us for further information about any aspect of the courses on offer.

The Creative Laboratories



Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop’s proposal to build a second development, the ‘Creative Laboratories’ alongside the new sculpture centre has been shortlisted for the Arts Funding Prize for Edinburgh, a £3million prize for a new or refurbished building of both architectural and cultural merit that will be a home to artistic activity.

The prize is being coordinated by the Scottish Community Foundation on behalf of an anonymous donor. A single winner of the prize will be announced this Autumn. The two other shortlisted candidates are Edinburgh College of Art and the Scottish Book Trust.

Our Vision

The world class facilities, inspiring contemporary design and international profile of Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop’s Creative Laboratories will ensure Edinburgh can:

support excellence in contemporary arts practice by providing the time and inspiring creative space needed to pursue ambitious high level artist-led research and project-development.
   
offer a vibrant cultural hub which brings together artists, thinkers, creative minds and innovators from across the cultural, academic, public and private sectors in an atmosphere which supports collaboration, open-mindedness and experimentation.
   
benefit our community by providing inspiring opportunities for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to view, engage with and learn about sculpture and contemporary artistic practice, creating valuable learning and community development benefits, enhancing the public realm and contributing to sustainable development in the local area.

The unique facilities and inspiring range of activities supported will establish Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop as a world leader in supporting contemporary artistic practice, promoting public access to sculpture and contemporary practice and ensuring artists can positively contribute to our social, cultural, economic and educational environment.

Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop would like to hear your thoughts on our plans and the types of projects and events which could take place in the Creative Laboratories. Please email your comments and ideas to lucy@edinburghsculpture.org
