ESW, Newhaven by Sutherland Hussey Architects

EDINBURGH SCULPTURE WORKSHOP

Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop (ESW) was set up in 1987 and has been based in Leith/Newhaven for the last 10 years.
ESW provides a unique mix of services and professional facilities for artists working at a local, national and international level and can accommodate a wide range of contemporary and traditional sculptural practice. With studios, workshops and professional facilities on offer the organisation aims to support young and emerging artists as well as those who are more established - at present among the 20 studio-holders are Royal Scottish Academy members as well as 2 short-listed contenders for the New Contemporaries. In 2004 we launched an International Visiting Artist programme hosting a residency by Australian artist, Stewart Elliott and enabling Scottish artist, Duncan Robertson to take up a residency in Norway.
As a public facility ESW is a place where audiences can view work and where people can participate in and learn about the creative process. We work with local communities to establish creative partnerships which connect with and have an outcome in their own environment. We are a valuable resource for education providers, arts and associated organisations, local community groups and national establishments - organising workshop and education programmes, Open Studio Days and many public events and exhibitions.
