Art Club
Artist Grayson Perry is challenging the nation to use the time in lockdown to make art. Confined to his home studio, he and his wife Philippa, potter about (excuse the pun) making work and chatting to guests about their creations. It's calming, light-hearted and inspiring enough to encourage even the most reluctant artist to pick up a pencil and get stuck in.
