Govan Charm Projectiles

Drawing by Colin Begg of early designs for the projectiles to be fired by one of the Govan Trebuchets as part of the 'Charm Offensive'

The Govan Charm Offensive

The part of NothingAboutUs that uses the Trebuchets (see here) and the post below is called the Charm Offensive - the projectiles that will be launched by the Trebuchet are being designed and constructed by artist Colin Begg and Belinda Gilbert-Scott. Colin and Bel are based at the Kinning Park Complex along Paisley Road West from Govan and are working with other users of KP to make the project

More tomorrow on the composition of the projectiles...

The Real Thing

Mark, Ricco and Tam talk size

Whether it be a ship or a mediaeval siege catapult there is a special kind of energy that is generated by the building of something big and out of the ordinary. The NothingAboutUs Trebuchet is taking shape at the GalGael in Govan........

Meanwhile in other corners of the workshop it is business as usual:

Colin Macleod's carvings watch over proceedings

Committed people discuss and test techniques
