Sculpture workshop helps shape artists

EDINBURGH Sculpture Workshop is to give people a chance to learn from local artists, at an open day later this month.

The event will include workshops with Louisa Preston, a 3D painting workshop for youngsters, and wood carving demonstrations. Visitors will even be able to make their own mini-space probe, complete with solar panels and a radar dish.

An exhibition of new work will include pieces by Kate Ive, and Ms Preston, and there will also be an opportunity to see selected sculptures from ESW's twice-yearly exhibition of work created by participants in the Sculpture Course programme.

The Open Day will be held on 17 July, from 12pm.
