Between 2016 and 2020, Cove Park’s programme of workshops and events for children and young people was known as Hands-On Cove Park. During the Covid-19 crisis and related lockdowns, this programme moved from in-person events at Cove Park, to a series of online activities and creative projects for young people and families at home. Cove Park worked with artists and former residents to devise these free projects, sharing films, leading Zoom workshops, and delivering activity packs and materials to homes in our local area. This work was made possible with support from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.

This film features visual artist David Sherry who will introduce you to his work and demonstrates a simple drawing tutorial to create your own piece of lockdown-inspired art. Film editing by Duncan Marquiss.
