Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop is a purpose-built arts centre at 21 Hawthornvale, near Granton Harbour and Leith Port. You can see exhibitions, attend talks and seminars, or take a course in practical sculpture. The well-equipped workshops support work in clay, wood and metal, with technicians available to help. Milk cafe is on site, so you can add homemade soup or baked goods to a visit. Its setting beside woodland cycle paths also makes the outdoor seating a welcome stop on a sunny day.
