Make It Glasgow Cic

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. Our process explores local industrial pottery heritage and shared clay stories to inspire and develop new projects and build relationships. We use our network and expertise to work in partnership with third sector organisations, public bodies, and the private sector to create well loved, well used community assets and products. Our ambition is to establish a ceramics manufacturing base in North Glasgow reviving industrial ceramics skills and applications for contemporary ceramic learning, offering training and job opportunities which were once prevalent along the banks of the Forth and Clyde Canal.
