Castle Mills: Then & Now | 900 Stories in Print will capture and publish 900 industrial stories, engaging with communities in Fountainbridge and the west of Edinburgh. The placemaking project will record personal histories, recollections, memories and tales responding to Fountainbridge’s industrial past and present.

The unique collection of stories will then be used to inspire a final visual arts project: commissioning an artist printmaker to produce a print edition, providing a visual representation for many diverse voices. This handmade fine art print edition will be displayed at Edinburgh Printmakers in August 2025.

Drop-in workshops have been scheduled for 11am – 1pm on Fridays from 4 October to 20 December 2024 and from 17 January to 30 May 2025. These are free to attend, a free lunch will be provided, and there is no need to book.
