PRESTONPANS TAPESTRY
It has been a very busy since its launch of The Prestonpans Tapestry.
Over 260 stitchers, 10 million stitches, 104 metres long, 25,000 hours of work and now an estimated
13,000 people have seen the tapestry.
The question I get most asked is "Where is the tapestry?" well...
Up and coming dates are
May
7th - June 5th Kirkcaldy Museum & Art Gallery
June 8th - 31st August(including being in the Edinburgh festival fringe) @
St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh
104 metre tapestry, that tells the story of the journey of Jacobite Rebellion from Rome to The Battle of Prestonpans.
It has involved many in its production. My job has been to design the104 panels that stitchers can use to tell the story.
Creating the visual story that is based on research mainly from the book Battle of Prestonpans 1745 by Martin Margulies.
Although I have used a much wider net, Martin's Book has been the main inspiration. Each panel is being stitched by
hand in USA, Australia, France and following the journey throughout Scotland. It has involved 260 stitchers,
10 million stitches, 3000 metres of thread and been produced in Scotland, England, Ireland, USA, Australia and France.
I have kept a photographic record as it has progressed. See its creation, launch in Prestonpans,
its world Premier in Eriskay, in Dunblane cathedral and many other settings across Scotland.
You can also see many of my previous murals, illustration work, Three Harbours and current
paintings on Facebook.
You are invited
to a private view of an exhibition of recent work by Andrew Crummy which
is entitled " Skyscapes, Portraits and Still
Lifes". This recent work, is in fact from Artschool Cockenzie where I
often paint along with those that come to the Dropin class, Still Life classes,
Summer School and Saturday Workshops. This exhibition is about my own paintings.
In April this year I took over the studio space at Cockenzie Business Centre.
Since then as well as doing Art classes, I have been busy with various projects
including the Battle of Prestonpans Tapestry, various book illustration publications
and as Convenor of The Prestonpans Mural Trail. At the Private View I will
have on display bits of the Tapestry, book publications and various other bits
(for one night only). So please come along and have a look.
