Glasgow Sculpture Studios is a space dedicated to exploring, challenging, and expanding upon sculptural practice. Based on the Forth and Clyde canal in North Glasgow we are home to a vibrant community of artists working across contemporary sculptural practice and offer specialist communal production facilities and workshops to support skills development and experimentation. We also realise ambitious and innovative public realm projects through our bespoke creative fabrication service.

Making, manufacturing, and production have always been part of the fabric of our local area and our Learning and Engagement programme draws on these histories to explore the cultures, practices, and ideas that shape

of co-production and co-creation, we work closely with a number of Community Partners to deliver this work amplifying the vital work already happening in our area driven by grassroots groups and community activism.
