Join us once more for a Summer Social - this time the house and garden have teamed up together to bring you a fun-filled afternoon of activities, tours, food and much more...

Our Dye Garden Schools programme returned in May, as we welcomed back Primary 4 pupils from our two local Ferguslie Park schools — Glencoats and St. Fergus.

Are you a new or early career artist/designer (within three years post-graduation) with a passion for natural dyes, textiles, and community creativity? We are looking for a self-employed Workshop Assistant to join our exciting project that supports community health, wellbeing, and local education through land-based creative activities.

The second part of our trip, supported by Creative Scotland’s Go, See, Share fund, involved travelling to Devon to meet Sophie Holt, the inspiring person behind Pigment Organic Dyes.

I'm delighted to announce that next week myself, Laura Aldridge and Dr Charlotte Linton will be embarking on a research trip to Guernsey and Devon to gather valuable insights and inspiration thanks to the Creative Scotland Go, See, Share fund. 

Please join us this coming Saturday for our second SUMMER SOCIAL at Sculpture House. We have a whole host of fun, free activities for you to try.
