Welcome
Weave Parkhead! was a collaboration between schools, community groups, weavers and archaeologists to create a series of four woven panels celebrating the history and heritage of Parkhead. The project was delivered as part of the Parkhead Cross Townscape Heritage Initiative.
From 2016-2017, the Weave Parkhead! team ran a series of workshops and events in and around Parkhead, combining weaving, creative craft skills and historical research with the aim of revealing the spirit of Parkhead – the stories, people and places that make it unique.
The conversations we had during these sessions have informed and inspired the design of the panels. The completed panels will be installed in the foyer of the former Parkhead Primary School. Renovation works on the Cateory B-Listed school are currently underway and the building is due to open as a local enterprise centre in 2018.
