London Sculpture Workshop (LSW)
is a not for profit CIC and artist led maker space, founded in 2012 by graduates from The Royal College of Art (RCA) and The Slade School of Fine Art as an open access sculpture workshop with a short course programme.
LSW was founded to meet the need for accessible, inclusive, affordable, high-quality facilities for anyone who wants to make in 3D (including those outside the formal FE/HE education system). A founder partner for 2 years was CRISIS, developing a specially tailored education programme for their clients.
LSW is ambitious and committed to inclusivity and is driven to contribute to the community. LSW has always prided itself in its inclusivity, providing opportunities to artists and makers of all abilities and backgrounds, and providing them with the highest quality facilities and expertise through all our strands of education and development programmes.
LSW offers a superbly equipped metal and wood workshop with additional mould-making and hot-metal working areas. In addition to major equipment LSW also provides a wide range of both power tools, hand tools and access to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for workshop users.
LSW operates a pay-as-you-go Open-Access Membership scheme which operates most Thursdays and Fridays throughout the year. It also offers an extensive short course programme.
All tutors are practising artists as well as educators with many years of combined expertise.
LSW’s work has been widely recognised and previous awards and funding has been received from Arts Council, Chelsea Arts Club Trust, City Bridge Trust, Crafts Council and Mayor of London
