One of the benefits of Edinburgh Printmakers Studio Membership is the opportunity to regularly consign prints for sale in the EP Shop. This includes having physical framed impressions on display in the window and Rear Window display corridor, unframed impressions in the browsers, as well as digital representation on the EP online shop. 

Members are informed in writing by email and thorugh the Members Newsletter, of upcoming consignment opportunities. This will normally be twice a year: in Autumn (October/November) and in Spring (April/May). 

Members who are not local to Edinburgh or cannot make these dates for extenuating circumstances, can email the Front Desk and request to set an ad hoc appointment at the discretion of EP Sales Team availability.

Enquire for a Consignment Appointment

Members are free to bring to the consignment appointment as many works as they wish, from which the EP Sales Team will select new stock. New consignments should be recent works made in the studio, and EP may release older work back before taking newer work on consignment.  Each member may have in consignment up to 15 works at any one time (not including any additional works submitted for a specific exhibition or event).

This can be a mix of:

• Up to 3 framed pieces (max size 90x 120cm – we have very little space availability for oversized frames, which will be accommodated on a first come first serve basis);
• Up to 7 loose prints together with digital images to list in the online shop;
• Up to 6 wrapped works for display in the EP shop (max size 80x60cm).

Please note, this is a guideline only to set some upper limits due to storage availability, however, there is no minimum. 

EP may invite members to submit work for exhibition at Art Fairs or for temporary displays off site. The selection process is entirely dependent upon the format and content of the specific exhibition/fair and relative to customer demand. Members must agree to leave prints on consignment for a minimum period of the length of the exhibition/fair. When the exhibition/fair ends, unsold works will be released to the artist or continue to be held on consignment, by discretion of Edinburgh Printmakers. 

We currently have a satellite retail display at Dovecot Studios, where we regularly exhibit EP Editions and Studio Members prints selected in relation to Dovecot's exhibition programming. 

Similarly, this year we were delighted to take part with a stall at the Collective Gallery Gala celebrating 5 year of this uniquely placed and thought provoking contemporary Art Gallery. EP Studio members were encouraged to consign prints and other products (notebooks, hand made cards and zine) to offer the most diverse representation of printmaking and paper-based craft to the audiences of the Gala. 

During the summer months of 2023, our Exhibition Coordinator and Sales & Archive Manager, organised a special display of EP members prints in the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, by the title Edition.

We are always committed to finding more ways to showcase our community's work and reach wider audiences within the city and beyond to engage with printmaking in all its forms.
