Scotland Can Make It!
is an exhibition of six souvenir prototypes inspired by the London 2012
Olympic Games and the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
The souvenirs, designed and manufactured
entirely in Scotland, aim to offer a lasting material legacy of both
major events whilst expressing a strong message about Scotland’s rich
and imaginative cultural landscape.
The prototypes have been made by the
following artists, designers and companies:
Atelier EB and Marc Camille Chaimowicz with
Begg Scotland and McRostie of Glasgow
Claire Duffy with Tunnock’s
Emlyn Firth and Angharad McLaren with
Johnstons of Elgin
FOUND with Chemikal Underground
Katy West with Highland Stoneware and Rogano
Oyster Bar
Neil McGuire and Marianne Anderson with
Carlton Die Casting and Jewellery Prototyping Services
The souvenirs will be developed for sale as a
part of the cultural programme for the Commonwealth Games. They will be
available to buy in Glasgow and across Scotland in 2014.
A film, Scotland Can Make It!: the making
of six souvenirs presents a series of informal
interviews and a behind the scenes look at the processes involved in
creating the unique prototypes for Scotland Can Make It!
Filmed in the studios, workshops and
factories of the Scotland Can Make It! designers,
artists, musicians and manufacturers, the film highlights the quality
and breadth of Scotland’s creative practitioners and manufacturing
industries.
Scotland Can Make It! is part
of Scotland’s Cultural Programme for London 2012 and Glasgow 2014
