A short film visiting the sites of four of Glasgow’s largest export potteries which tell the extraordinary story of Glasgow’s pottery industry. Using the building of the new Sighthill Bridge, as a way to connect past to present, it establishes Glasgow as a major producer and exporter of ceramics during the 19th Century with a truly global trade network. The film identifies the lost sites of the potteries which were situated along the banks of the Forth and Clyde Monkland Canals that now lie under the M8, and for the first time reunites pieces made with their historic factory sites.
Ruth Impey is a maker and creative producer working from her studio in Glasgow, where she makes ceramics and develops a range of projects using the project development, maker-tutor and heritage & museum skills practiced over the course of her career. Her practice is founded on the principle of making’s ability to assemble alternative relationships between objects, people and the wider world.
Most recently Ruth curated ‘ 50 pots’ an exhibition celebrating the history and heritage of Scotlands Industrial Potteries.
