Glasgow Sculpture Studios is home to a vibrant community of artists working in contemporary sculptural practice. For Doors Open Day 2023, we are delighted to welcome you to the largest art production facility in Scotland, with specialist workshops in metalwork, woodwork, plaster, resin, ceramics and digital fabrication!
Located at The Whisky Bond on the banks of the Forth and Clyde Canal, Glasgow Sculpture Studios is the anchor tenant in the building and one of the first arts organisations to move into the area.
In 2022 we celebrated our 10th anniversary at The Whisky Bond! As part of our continued celebrations, we are offering you the opportunity to visit us, learn more about our history in the context of North Glasgow, tour our facilities and see some of the sculpture and artwork created on site here at GSS. We look forward to welcoming you!
Come visit The Whisky Bond for Doors Open Day and sign up for tours to The Glasgow School of Art Archives and Collections, The Alasdair Gray Archive and Glasgow Sculpture Studios to explore each organisations’ unique spaces and collections, and drop into The Distillery co-working space for refreshments.
Glasgow Sculpture Studios is Scotland’s largest arts production centre. We provide foundation support for the production of art in Scotland and encourage skills development, experimentation and community-building.
We support one of the largest communities of artists in Scotland with over 120 artist-members, 55 of whom are studio holders based at GSS. Through our subsidised studios, affordable workshops, and access to expertise, we support artists from all backgrounds, and at all stages of their career, to develop their practice through exploration of sculpture in its broadest sense.
