• Scottish Sculpture Workshop is a site of possibility, where artists and communities have the tools, skills, opportunity, and networks to collectively imagine, make and live in ways that are resistant and multiple.

     

    We have been embedded in Lumsden in the north-east of Scotland since 1979.
