Saturday 7th March 2020 | 10.30am

Andrew Crummy is a Scottish artist, who has designed several major works such as the Great Tapestry of Scotland. Born in Craigmillar, Edinburgh which is often seen as a poor area. His introduction to art was through the Craigmillar Festival Society, so his childhood memories are full of Community Arts events that involved festivals, drama, music, clowns, colour and laughter. Andrew was the mural Convenor for The Prestonpans Murals Programme which now has over 50 public arts. More recently he has been the designer for The Battle of Prestonpans Tapestry, The Great Tapestry of Scotland and The Scottish Diaspora tapestry.
