Open Studios

Cornwall open studios-We had the opportunity to visit a number of studios in St Ives including #Gareth Edwards whose large subtle landscapes are stunning. In some studios it was hard to concentrate on art, one in particular had enormous windows over-looking Porthmeor Beach. We were invited to participate in the creation of a mural covering one entire wall by peeling back areas masked off and painted white. It's Impressive that these former sail-lofts have been preserved for local artists rather than being sold for development. The pressures must be hard to resist. Sorry to hear that the artists residing in the former Napoleonic barracks at Maker are losing their premises to development.
