Education & Schools

At the heart of the RBS education programme are the convictions that through art people enrich their lives and that sculpture is a powerful agent for opening minds, releasing creativity and contributing to learning skills.

 

The RBS offers a variety of awards and residencies for sculptors at every stage of their practice and a growing number of talks, workshops and programmes for the public, young people and schools. For more information, please contact our Schools Coordinator Cynthia Scoville or download a copy of the Schools Newsletter here.

 

This programme for 4 -11 year olds offers valuable opportunities for children to engage with sculpture through guided discussion, observation and practical making sessions.

 

This new project offers unique opportunities for 16 - 18 year olds to participate in ambitious workshops during their A level course and compete for a studio vplacement with a professional sculptor. In 2011 we are piloting a programme with two London Boroughs and seeking support for a future extended scheme.

 

The RBS helps sculptors from the earliest stages of their professional practice and stays with them as they progress through their careers, providing guidance and help in the development of new skills.

 

Each spring and autumn we offer one day Professional Development Seminars for Sculptors, which are open to all. The topics are delivered by artists and industry experts, focusing on sculpture as a profession. Limited sponsorship allows us to keep the fees at an affordable level.
