What we do

Out of the Blueprint is an eco print studio in Leith, Edinburgh. We use specialist Japanese printing methods called RISO and GOCCO. Through our affordable, sustainable and ethical print service, we produce posters, booklets, T-shirts and more for our local community.

As a social enterprise, we raise money through our eco printing service and reinvest all profits to support our work with young people.

We support young people with:

Residencies

Paid opportunities for young artists with a dedicated studio space & access to the riso

Publishing

Support for young artists to get their zines, comics and art publications into the world

Training

Hands-on experience in the workplace for trainees with barriers to employment

Education

Workshops, classes and educational projects for

We also cover 50% of riso print costs for people aged 24 or under, based in Scotland, who are printing their own work
