Govan Gathering 2008

Deepfired will be taking part in this years Govan Gathering Festival which is on Saturday the 20th of September from 12 noon to 6pm. The theme for this years festival is regeneration and environmental change. In the studio we will be creating a large clay map (6ft x 4ft) of Govan, recreating the parts you want to keep and redesigning the new parts you would like to see. Come along and design a building or town scape. It is free and open to all ages. There will be lots of music and activities all along Govan Road for the festival and Doors Open Day is on at the same time with the Pierce Institute along the road is providing tours of the building.

The mosaic is a combination of handmade tiles by the children, old school photographs and other imagery digitally transfer printed on and mosaic tiles.

The windows were designed and made through a series of workshops with the local Provanhall youth club.
