Edinburgh Open Workshop - We are Open for Everyone

Enjoy guided tours of the 17,000 square foot facility with demonstrations from our resident makers on how to use specialist woodworking, welding and textile machinery. Try out our taster sessions in screen printing and wood turning and make your own planter or laser cut sign to take away with you.

DIY enthusiasts can speak to our experts and ask their advice on any future home improvements or crafting projects, and we will provide a free cut-t-size service for smaller jobs that require specialist tools.

For those interested in learning a new skill or building on existing knowledge, our team will be on hand to discuss the various courses and workshops available, with the option to sign up if you find something you'd like to try.

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.

All information (whether in text or photographs) is supplied in good faith but should not be relied upon as being a statement of representation or fact.
