Falmouth artists will be displaying their work in this year's Open Studios Cornwall.
Between Saturday 28th May and Sunday 5th June, 327 artists, designers, and makers from across Cornwall will throw open their studio doors and share their artistic practice as part of the ever-popular event.
From Porthtowan to Porthleven and Lamorna to Looe, potters, painters, and printmakers; textile artists and designers; sculptors and silversmiths will push the boundaries of composition, shape, and form; inspired by the healing power of nature; industrial archaeology; Cornwall's geology and the importance of place.
Those based in Falmouth include Caroline Uff, Sasha Harding, Tim Newman, Sue Davis, and Miles Henderson Smith.
By following the distinctive orange O of Open Studios Cornwall along Bronze Age footpaths and winding lanes, up granite steps, and into cobbled courtyards, visitors will experience the visual outcome; encounter studios in net-lofts and fish cellars, barns and blacksmith's forges, a 1930s teahouse and a Victorian gin parlour, and witness the power of creativity to provoke thought, inspire feeling and evoke emotion.
Project Co-ordinator, Karen Raymond, said:
"The pandemic has taught us much about ourselves, the way we live, and what we value, and it is fascinating to see how this plays out in the expansive range of artwork that will be on view during this year's event.
"Whatever kind of life you live and wherever you live it, art can heal, transform, comfort, and unite. Cornwall's creatives warmly welcome you to discover, discuss and purchase original work in this county-wide celebration of artistic liberation."
