Join us to celebrate International Sculpture Day. Take part in free, drop-in activities dedicated to creating and understanding sculpture in our surroundings.
International Sculpture Day is a worldwide event which aims to advance the creation and understanding of sculpture. On the last Saturday of April each year we celebrate the community, the work and the love of sculpture and its unique contribution to society.
Assemble: Gather & Sculpt

Interpretation Room
Shape, scale and sculpt assemblages, using an array of natural, reclaimed and recycled materials. Do you think you can make something like what you’ve seen outside, or a totally original creation of your own? Feel the textures, notice the tones and watch the materials transform before your eyes!
Recollections: Curator’s Talk
