Booklet of sketches about the Hampstead Gown Factory and its role in making surgical gowns for key workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, by HGF volunteer and artist Graham Modlen, written June 2020 and published 2020 in collaboration with the Royal Free Charity
Architect Graham Modlen was one of the volunteers at the Hamstead Gown Factory. The self-titled factory was one of a number of volunteer pools to make Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.
One such pool was set up by the Royal Free Charity to provide surgical gowns for the Royal Free and Barnet hospitals. The self-titled Hampstead Gown Factory, based at Wac Arts in Hampstead, began making gowns from surgical drapes in April 2020.
Each morning and afternoon shift had 60 volunteers. Everyone had a set task such as sewing shoulder seams, cutting, checking, filling bobbins, quality control and packing. At peak productivity, 800 surgical gowns were made every day. Volunteers were regularly tested for COVID-19, completed a health check questionnaire and had their temperature checked on arrival, as well as observing social distancing.
Overall, 614 volunteers made 50,000 surgical gowns at the HGF. Surgical gowns cannot be made at home as they need to be produced in as sterile an environment as possible.
For many of the Hampstead Gown Factory volunteers, the project offered personal benefits too. It provided a focus during the first lockdown, was a chance to use existing skills and learn new ones, and to become part of a community not mediated by screens.
