Govan from above: Craft Cafe members produce amazing aerial painting!
Thu 10th August 2017
Older people who attend Craft Cafe our Craft Cafe workshops in Govan have created a large and detailed aerial painting of the local area!
The members have been working together on the project over the last few months as part of a commission by partners and funders Elderpark Housing Assocation.
There are also symbols of local signficance hidden in the painting for people to discover: a unicorn (Scotland’s national animal), a ram’s head (the symbol for the Govan Weavers), Celtic designs (to represent the Govan Stones), the Glasgow Coat of Arms, and the Govan Cat – carved on a wall on Burleigh Street at Govan Cross.
The painting was presented to Shirley McKnight, Depute Chief Executive of Elderpark Housing Association, who cut the ribbon.
The painting will spend a few weeks on display at Elderpark Library before the Housing Association take it to their new building.
