Down a quiet cobble-stoned street on the east side of Edinburgh is the wee gallery, workshop and shop run by the Edinburgh Printmakers.
Established in 1967 as the first open access studio in
Britain, Edinburgh Printmakers is an organisation dedicated to the practice of
fine art printmaking, that is committed to providing high quality, low cost
printmaking facilities for artists.
Their mission is to support artistic excellence in the
medium of print through inspiration, education, innovation and facilitation - working
at the cutting edge of contemporary visual art, producing critically acclaimed
and engaging artwork that is key to the cultural life of Scotland.

Thank you to friend Fiona for suggesting the visit ...
It's about time to pack my bags and head off on another adventure - but before doing so, I'll give you a few more impressions of the city in my next post ...
