Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop

Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop’s new buildings were opened in 2012, a progression from the railway sheds which a group of artists took over on the site in the late 1980s.The bespoke buildings, designed by Sutherland Hussey Architects, house studios, workshops, artist-in-residence accommodation and presentation spaces which enables artists and members of the public to engage in contemporary art ideas and production. The Hawthornvale cycle path runs next to the building and there’s a café in the centre of the space.

GLOBAL CONNECTIONS

We have international artists as members, studio holders and artists-in-residence, including partnerships later in 2019 with Ukraine and Japan.

ACTIVITIES

There will be tours of the building, including the chance to see inside the practical workshops and hear about becoming a member at 12pm, 1pm, 2pm (architect’s tour) and 3pm.

There will also be two artworks on show: a suspended sculpture by Lucy Wayman on the adjoining cycle path, and Adam Benmakhlouf has made a sound poem which is presented within the Tower at the edge of our Courtyard.
