Art graduand at the GSA, is set to create a permanent communal bread oven in Garnethill
park from stone and wood that cannot be used in the Mackintosh Building
restoration.
Following positive feedback
from the community at a number of pop-up events with a temporary bread oven, Eleanora
applied for permission to locate one permanently in the gardens. Once
constructed the oven will be available for the whole of the Garnethill community to bring their bread dough to be baked.
