Sculpture Saturdays
Join us for Sculpture Saturdays in April!
We have two exciting artist led workshops coming up in the Easter holidays for families to make, play and work together.
We will be running 2 workshops a day for 4 families at a time, so when you book you can choose either morning or afternoon. The workshops are designed for primary school aged children and their families.
All the workshops will take place outside in Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop’s Outdoor Learning Studio, which is situated in the Courtyard, the area is covered but please remember to come dressed for the weather. The courtyard can be accessed directly from the cycle path or by using the steps down from Hawthornvale or rolling access from Hawthornvale, via ESW’s carpark at the east of the building. This is also where Cafe MILK is located. Entry to the workshops will be through the gates into Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop’s courtyard where a member of staff will meet you.
Spaces are limited. The workshops are free but donations are welcome, please book through Eventbrite links for each workshop are below.

Intergalactic Play Devices with Play Radical
Saturday 16 April
11am-12.30pm or 2pm-3.30pm
Book for Intergalactic Play Devices with Play Radical
Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop was given some communication devices made by children from an alien planet. The children invented them so they could show and tell each other things, like what they found beautiful, fun or scary. The children no longer need them, so they sent them to us but without any instructions!
Join Play Radical with your family to find out how you might use and play with these devices to communicate with each other. The workshop will also feature a range of materials to make and play with: bamboo poles, string, fabric, tape and more!
