Cornwall and art have been inextricably intertwined for generations: from the world famous Newlyn School; Barbara Hepworth
and the Tate at St Ives to the tiny galleries that appear in just about every village in the county.
The unique light and landscape influence the stunning arts and crafts including glass-work, jewellery, ceramics, paintings and sculpture.
St Ives is a great place to start with the Tate and Barbara Hepworth Museum, and the local galleries are also jammed full of traditional and modern
artworks.
The Lemon Street gallery in Truro is a real treat, but there is wonderful art available everywhere. Small galleries abound at Camelford,
Padstow, Wadebridge, Port Isaac and even on the side of the road as you drive around.
It is difficult to leave Cornwall without a piece of original artwork in your bag, and no better souvenir.
