History Of Leeds Sculpture Workshop
Leeds Sculpture Workshop (LSW) was founded in 1995 by sculptors Charles Quick and Gary Cromack. It was originally based in a three storey warehouse space with listed building status, in Sawmill Yard, off Water Lane in the canal basin area of the city centre. The Workshop initially provided studio space for 8 artists. Due to this area being redeveloped as Holbeck Urban Village , LSW found an intermediary home in October 2001 and has expanded to provide workspace for 10 artists. In 2002 Leeds Sculpture Workshop purchased its own studio premises in Harehills Leeds . |
