Photo series: Scottish Sculpture Workshop turns 40
We visited the Scottish Sculpture Workshop in Lumsden, Huntly, to join with their 40th birthday celebrations - view our selection of photos from this incredible weekend.
Strings of fairy lights illuminated the entrance to the Scottish Sculpture Workshop.
The sight that awaited upon turning the corner - sparks flying into the night from the iron furnace.
Iron poured into moulds in the safe hands of artists from around the world.
The flame burned high and bright against the night sky.
The iron was then poured down a wooden frame to ignite the bonfire that would keep us warm and provide a centrepiece to the party.

A room within the Workshop is decorated with bunting and lights, ready for people to dance into the night.
Sunday's celebrations began with pot-luck breakfast.

Attendees could also take part in a blacksmithing workshop - the noise of anvils being struck resonated throughout the Workshop's yard.
