This year you can visit Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop by pre-booking below onto one of the guided tours happening at 11am, 1pm and 3pm on Saturday 25 September. The tour will be led by a member of the team and will give you insight into the specialist workshop facilities as well as the artist’s projects and commissions happening around the building.

Access to the inside areas of the building will only be by bookable guided tour but you can visit the site and see the artists’ commissions between 11am – 4pm. These artists’ projects include Alaya Ang & Hussein Mitha’s sound work in the Beacon Tower; Andrew Gannon’s exhibition in our street view gallery; Lucy Wayman’s public artwork above the cycle path and our ongoing Billboard for Newhaven project.
