Fife Dunfermline Printmakers Workshop is a small, artist-run cooperative based in Dunfermline, Scotland.  It was established in 1981.We offer facilities in etching, screenprinting, collography, relief and wood cut.  The studio is an encouraging, artistic space; artists are made to feel comfortable and working practices are flexible.  We encourage an experimental approach and artists share information, skills and ideas whilst working as individual creative printmakers. Our professional artist members come from throughout central Scotland.
Members exhibit prints regularly at the following group shows organised by:  Royal Scottish Academy, Society of Scottish Artists, Royal Glasgow Institute, Paisley Art Institute and The Meffan.  In addition, the workshop has been represented recently at exhibitions of printmaking in Hong Kong, Lithuania and Poland.
