Stockingfield Bridge is a brand new piece of infrastructure in North Glasgow connecting Maryhill, Ruchill and Gilshochill. A new community led public art park has evolved as part of the development, with making, connecting, building relationships and joy at its heart. A park where engineering, meets arts, meets community, rooted in the history and heritage of pottery making in the local area. You are invited to join us for a guided tour of the 8 community artworks commissioned by Scottish Canals for the site, as well as take a sneak peek at the Beithir’s head as it begins to take shape. The Beithir in Scottish mythology, is a lightening serpent, one of the fuatha, the family of mythical monsters that include the Kelpies who reside at the other end of the Forth and Clyde Canal. Everyone on the tour is also invited to make their mark by decorating a belly button tile for the Beithir’s body.
Make it Glasgow CIC is a social benefit, not for profit business. Established by artists Louise Nolan and Ruth Impey emerging from their partnership created through the making of the Many Hands Mosaic for Stockingfield Bridge.
We work on creative placemaking projects alongside local people who live, work, go to school, access services, or have connections to the North of Glasgow. We aim to build a sustainable business model and co-create projects which help build skills, confidence and improve our environment, creating a sense of local self-esteem and belonging.
