Through Feast Cornwall Bright Sparks funding, I am collaborating on a project with Penlee House Gallery & Museum. Patterns of Penwith focuses on the wood block fabric print designs of Alec Walker for the Crysede company in the 1920’s. Working with Gold Arts Award students from Cornwall College, we have designed discovery packs for locals and visitors to take out and explore some of the places that Alec Walker worked from in West Penwith. Other events will include workshops and a final celebratory event in summer 2018, and opportunities for volunteers at the Museum to be involved with the project.
Also, whilst I am not participating in Open Studios this year, please contact me if you would like to arrange a studio visit!
