18@108 – SCULPTORS ON SCULPTURE

Discover what sculptors bring to a particular medium and what the medium brings to a sculptor.

Relaxed and informal evenings to be enjoyed by both practicing sculptors and those who have an interest in sculpture, unique and inspiring. Unique because they allow us to engage in a natural way with each artist, bringing us closer to the physical, emotional and mental processes which feed into a single work of art. Inspiring because the meeting of sculptors with different backgrounds and interests produces fascinating synergies.
