To avoid overusing the word ‘new’ in our blog posts we took the time to dust off our workshop thesaurus for some different options. Guess what its first offering was …’brand new.’
Thanks, thesaurus – very helpful.

So, with that in mind we are here to tell you about some exciting, ‘Not Old’ information – EOW is ready to expand again!

Care to become one of us…one of us….ahem, I mean, join the team?

If you are meeting us for the first time, EOW is an innovative, creative co-working space, offering membership-based access to a variety of workshop facilities, studios, machinery, tools, to both Pay-As-You-Go Members and long-term ‘Resident Makers’. As a not-for-profit social enterprise we believe in supporting artists/makers and creative business, which means ensuring that we keep our space, tools, learning accessible to all.

Being Edinburgh’s only open-access workshop, we support a community of over 300 hobbyist and professional makers, designers, and creatives. Our Members range from hobbyists tinkering on small home projects to corporates designing and manufacturing for niche markets with everything in between. 

We are looking for a collaborative and creative Membership Engagement & Marketing Officer to join our small close-knit group.
