To celebrate Edinburgh Printmakers’ 40th anniversary, our exhibition programme features two exhibitions  highlighting  a selection from the huge variety of prints produced at Edinburgh Printmakers. Edinburgh Printmakers was founded in 1967 and was the very first open-access print studio in Scotland and amongst the first in the UK. For 40 years Edinburgh Printmakers have provided equipment and expertise to support artists and are recognised as an international leader in and pioneer of innovative contemporary printmaking practices.
