Bradford-based artist Lou Sumray invited us to join her at The Beacon in Bowling Park to get creative – inspired by Bradford’s open spaces.

We picked up a pen and made our mark on one of Lou’s six-foot-tall art screens.

Everyone was welcome at these family-friendly workshops, and we provided all the pens, paints and materials needed to get creative. Audiences could also make their own crafty creations to take home.
