The colour and the shape

Cornish colours, shapes and visual memories translate into vibrant contemporary art at this year’s Open Studios Cornwall.

The one that got away

After missing this year's Open Studios deadline, Steve Slimm announces his own plans to open his workshop to the public.

Cornwall at dawn

This wonderful photograph of geese flying over Charlestown Harbour, aptly titled 'Early Morning Flight', was taken during the blue hour by Cornish photographer, Matt Sanders.

From sanctuary to shore

Head to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary, where you can meet the rescued seal pups and hear their individual stories. The Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Gweek rescues and rehabilitates over 70 seal pups every season. As we approach the end of pupping season, it’s fair to say that it’s been another busy one for the Rescue and Rehabilitation team! The seal pupping season is from September until March, which unfortunately is also the period of time in the UK when we receive the worst storms and roughest seas...
