HOCP at Home with Illustrator Oliver Pitt

Film Still, HOCP at HOME #11 Oliver Pitt, 2020.

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.

Oliver Pitt is a Glasgow based illustrator, graphic artist and musician. In this short film, he introduces a printing process known as Collagraphy. Although this process traditionally relies on the use of a printing press, Oliver suggests ways that similar results can be achieved at home.
