Enjoy a different kind of festive shopping experience at Edinburgh Open Workshop’s Makers Market.
Edinburgh Open Workshop will once again host its winter Makers Market, celebrating the best of homegrown artists and makers, on Saturday 30th November. With locally designed and produced clothing and accessories, jewellery, illustrations, decorative iron works, crafts, art, textiles and knits, this popular event provides the perfect opportunity to meet some of Leith’s creative community and to buy some really special festive gifts.
Products are available to take home on the day. You can also commission bespoke pieces directly from the makers, or simply come and take a look at what people can create when they find the right space.
A spokeseperson for the market said: “The award-winning Planet G will be on hand to provide some great plant-based street food and we will also have hot chocolate, mulled wine and other treats available to help warm you up.
“We will be hosting an EOW Design Exhibition in our event space, featuring work from our resident and local makers. And, for our younger visitors we will have Make a Reindeer and Snowflake kits that can be completed on site or taken home for later.“
The event will also mark the launch of the Leith Creative Trail, a map of Leith-based venues, markets and open studios, which highlights and promotes the impressive making and creating talent on our doorstep. The Leith Creative Trail will run from Saturday 30th November to Saturday 8th December.
