Location
The Scottish Sculpture and Performance Art Workshop
The Scottish Sculpture Workshop is located in the village of Lumsden
in rural West Aberdeenshire. Lumsden (Aberdeenshire) is a small
village set in the foothills of the Highlands, between the Coreen
Hills and the Ladder Hills.
The Scottish Sculpture Workshop is at the north end of the village.
In 1979, Fred Bushe took over the buildings of the Strathbogie Bakery,
and secured the support of WASPS (Workshops and Artists Studio Provision
Scotland) to start the workshop.
Through this program you will be able to study for 3 or 6 CU-Denver
credits in Sculpture (FA 4340/5340) and Performance Art (THTR 4560/5560).
Students are encouraged to take both classes. Both instructors feel
strongly that collaboration between the visual artists and performance
artists in this type of program will greatly enhance the work of
all involved.
The historical and contemporary sculpture and architecture of Scotland
and its relationship to the cultural and social record of the country
will provide the backdrop to your artistic experience in Scotland.
You will apply this knowledge of Scottish culture and develop works
that are relevant to your individual identity. The concepts of time,
place, and materiality will be investigated. There will be collaborative
exercises with performance students that will explore issues of
identity construction that are significant in creating personal
works of art. Sculptors will work in facilities fully equipped for
stone, wood, metal and foundry (iron and bronze). Technical support
is provided in all areas.
Explore the creative process through exercises designed to tap
into your imagination. Scottish literature, both classic and contemporary,
will provide the starting point of our exploration of the relationship
of words, themes and images to the Scottish countryside, culture
and art. You will read the literature, tour the countryside, visit
castles and ruins, art museums and galleries, attend ceilidhs and
plays as you collect your own impression of Scotland. Theatre/performance
artists will find inspiration in the rich cultural heritage at the
area. Workshop space will be utilized for mask making and/or puppetry.
Sculptors and theatre artists will present and perform at the
Edinburgh Fringe Festival at the conclusion of the program.
