e mail 		Painted silk banner inspired by the Shandwick Stone. Children and adults were shown how to design Celtic knots by Ruth Black  and created drawings inspired by the Shandwick Stone. These designs were then used to create original paintings on silk. 

The Shandwick Stone which is covered in spirals, beasts and hunting scenes used to be a landmark for local boats.
The image on the left is of the completed banner and below you can look at the individual paintings it is made up of.
