What happens?
Artists across Cornwall throw open their studio doors to the public for nine days. Visitors can tour undiscovered corners of the county, exploring unusual studios spaces from remote cottages and chapels to beachside galleries and historic buildings. It’s an opportunity to meet the creators behind truly distinct finds including sculpture, glasswork, ceramic, painting and textiles.
Many studios are family-friendly, offering adults and children the chance to ask questions, learn techniques and master a new skill. One-on-one workshops are held throughout Open Studios Cornwall in unusual Cornish spaces. Whether you fancy yourself a painter, potter or jewellery maker, you can try your hand at a masterclass. You never know where it could lead…
