Adult Workshops & Evening Classes in Edinburgh

Edinburgh has a decent spread of places to pick up a new skill of an evening, and you do not have to go far to find them. Out Of The Blue Arts & Education Trust, close to the centre, runs drop-in sessions in sewing, cyanotype or gong work from £2, with soup or breakfast on offer at the café afterwards. Edinburgh Open Workshop, a bit further out, is a members' space for woodworking, welding, textiles, CNC routing and laser cutting, free to join though under-18s need a parent or carer with them. WHALE Arts Agency, out toward the edge of the city, runs its own evening classes with a café on site for a coffee before or after. If you want to try something without committing much, Out Of The Blue is the cheapest way in. For anyone wanting proper workshop kit, machinery and tools, head to Edinburgh Open Workshop. WHALE Arts is a good pick if you like the idea of settling in with a drink before or after your class.
