HOCP at Home with Artist Emmie McLuskey
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.
Upon filming this, Emmie McLuskey has recently returned from her residency on the Scotland/Japan Residency Exchange Programme developed by Cove Park, Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop and Hospitalfield in partnership with the Japanese residency organisations AIT, ARCUS Project, TOKAS and CRIA. Emmie introduces us to her work and process as well as giving us insight into her recent residency. She also introduces a craft process using traditional Japanese imagery.
