Dingwall's Beautiful Banner

Submitted on Sun, 09/08/2009 - 4:10pm

dingwall primary's Past, Present and Future BannerThis banner was produced in summer term 2009 by a group of Dingwall Primary School pupils working with local artist Jane Bregazzi. It is largely made from reused materials and shows landscape and landmarks around Dingwall. It also shows how materials thought of as just waste can be reused to make something beautiful – an object considered “past” can have a present and a future again.
