The Society was founded in 1994 by Crispin Rayner with a group of 14 sculptors in the Guildford area to promote interaction between sculptors, to organise exhibitions and to encourage the appreciation of sculpture. Since then the membership has grown to establish a vibrant Society, already sending quiet ripples throughout the sculpture world, with some 300 members drawn from all over Surrey and the surrounding counties.

Members work in a wide variety of styles, from figurative to abstract, using a diversity of media, which include bronze, metal, ceramics, wood, stone, sound and found objects. Carving, modelling, and construction are used to create flora, animal and human form and the imaginative. The styles are diverse and show beauty, movement, skill and can be thought provoking. The following pages set out the organisation of the Society.

The Society plays a proactive role in the promotion of sculpture as a member of Smart, an organisation that markets the arts around Surrey, and as a member of Guildford Arts that promotes the arts in Guildford.
