Saturday 30th November to Sunday 8th December
Welcome to Leith Creative Trail – A trail of Leith’s creative Markets and Open Studios. It’s an opportunity to discover and celebrate all the artistic happenings in the vibrant nooks of Leith. Some new, some institutions, some small, some big but all full of curiosity and talent.
The trail runs across a week from Saturday 30th November to Sunday 8th December – meaning you can really make the most of checking-out all that is going on. There will be markets, open studios, workshops and pop-up shops. Pretty cool hey.
The idea of the trail is to try and bag as many venues as possible – as we are all about knitting together the creative community and getting involved. You never know what you will discover.
To help you negotiate and navigate all of these happenings, we have created a map and directory – this year designed by the talented and lovely Cat Gordon Illustrations. These are available in print form from participating venues or you can download the map and directory (HERE) to your phone.
This year we have nineteen venues involved including:
Edinburgh Open Workshop – Custom House – Coburg House – Cyan Clayworks – SilverHub Studios – Leith Market – Mote 102 – Portland Street Potters – Portland Street Jewellers – Art Glass Studio 34 – Stampalofi – Glass Lab – Heart of Newhaven – Out of the Blue Drill Hall – Out of the Blue Abbeymount Studios – Leith Makers – Akvile Su Jewellery & Wojtek Kutyla- Support The Makers – Leith Walk Police Box
Follow @leithcreativetrail for all the updates and some groovy content.
