A vibrant celebration of creativity, community, and local talent.

EOW will once again open its workshop doors to showcase local artists and makers in our annual Summer Makers Market. This year we are raising funds for our ‘Buy Time for a Maker’ Fund. This is a bursary and scholarship programme that allows makers at all levels to apply for funding to support them in taking a class, getting some additional support, booking space, and building their confidence and skills – because everyone should have access to making!

Come on down to support a wonderful selection of local makers, and see if you will get lucky in our on-site raffle with some amazing prices; all whilst indulging in some delicious food, drinks and ice cream.

You can also find out all about what we do here at Edinburgh Open Workshop. What more could you want?

 

To help raise funds we are:

  1. Donating 100% of all raffle proceeds
  2. Donating 100% of entry fees
