Established in 1967, Edinburgh Printmakers was the first open access print studio in the UK. We play a leading role in connecting studios, workshops, and creative spaces nationally and internationally, enabling high-quality making and social enterprise.
We receive support from Creative Scotland & City of Edinburgh Council as well as other funders. In order to maintain our services we sell fine art prints created in our studio, and welcome many different people to use our beautiful building.
Set in Castle Mills in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh, a beautiful heritage building that was formerly a rubber factory and brewery complex, Edinburgh Printmakers fosters a creative atmosphere for both the local community and visitors to enjoy. We have created an international centre with world-class facilities, a strong sense of our heritage, and exceptional models of support for artists. Here visitors can connect with our work, and we can connect with the world.
We actively support individuals and organisations across Scotland to develop and deliver printmaking and visual arts that reflect Scotland’s diversity and distinct identity. As highly skilled printmakers, contemporary art researchers, producers, curators, and educators, we are a ley agent in the cultural life of Scotland and its capital city.
