We have enjoyed a special visit from a historian to tell us about John Shanks and his family. We loved looking through old Shanks & Co. Catalogues and looking at old maps of Barrhead. All the boys and girls were amazing at sharing everything we have learned. Today we were very fortunate to get a visit from a local artist who is helping us use what we’ve learned to create a decorated clay tile inspired by the work of Shanks & Co. The boys and girls can’t wait to bring them home to show their families!
