    • ABOUT


    We’re Out of the Blueprint, a print studio based in Edinburgh. We specialise in risograph printing - an affordable, eco-friendly print process with a unique aesthetic. We print posters, flyers, artwork, booklets - and more!

    Out of the Blueprint is a social enterprise, so any profits we make help us to provide training opportunities for young people, and support young artists with their own creative projects.

    So every time you use our print service for your flyers, posters or publications, you’re helping a young illustrator to produce their first comic, funding a traineeship for a young person with additional support needs, and supporting a new artist to curate their first exhibition.

    TRAINEESHIPS


    Out of the Blueprint offers training opportunities to young people with barriers to employment.

    Our trainee programme helps young people develop skills for the workplace, as well as offering the chance to build their own creative portfolio. Trainees learn how to carry out print jobs for customer, develop their design skills, communicate professionally with clients and much more.

    We’ve partnered with Thistle charity’s InterAct project, working with young people with additional support needs, and we’ve also taken referrals from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and the JET Programme, a job, employment and training programme for high school students.

    To find out more about training opportunities, email us at blueprint@outoftheblue.org.uk or use the contact form at the bottom of this page.
