There has been much wailing and gnashing of teeth at Scottish Sculpture Workshop this week, as we finally said goodbye to our two well-beloved interns, Kate Ive and Fiona Byrne.

Kate and Fiona have been with us for about three months, and during this time have:

Assisted more than a dozen artists over various periods of residencies - GANGHUT, Reactor, Summer and Merlyn Riggs.
Stripped and refurbished workshops and studios
Documented and archived hundreds of images
Framed and hung dozens of photographs
Prepared marketing / front of house proposals
Designed and organised paper marketing
Collated media & press clippings
Prepared and curated three major exhibitions for NEOS
Assisted with running various workshops, including bronze casting, ceramics, cuttlefish, mosaics...
Bibliographised our entire library (or at least they say they have - I will be checking!)
Documented and partially restored the SSW Sculpture Walk
Been cheerful and uncomplaining, even during extremely trying periods
Soothed my aching head and made me unlimited cups of coffee....

Fiona has now gone on to be a Glass Blowing Assistant at Glasstorm in Tain - Kate has disappeared back to Edinburgh, where she plans to take at least a month off...

We all really miss them already, and they are welcome back any time!
