Art & Design

Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) brings together creative practices that shape the world around us. We deliver innovative teaching and research in an inclusive and sustainable environment. Our summer school offers you the chance to experience life as an Art & Design student at ECA. You will take part in a range of practical creative activities, including drawing and making, that respond to the challenges we face in everyday life. You will learn how to use the visual and the material to understand the world around us. Sessions will take place in our purpose-built studios at ECA’s Lauriston Campus. You will get the chance to work with staff from Art, Design and History of Art, as well as experience the state-of-the-art facilities Edinburgh College of Art has to offer.

Spend your daytimes exploring fascinating subject work and receiving expert guidance, before joining exciting social activities across the city.

Join us this summer for a "once in a lifetime" experience that is "inspiring, enriching & unforgettable" (2024 Summer School Graduate feedback).
