Open Studios Cornwall is Cornwall’s largest free art event, celebrating contemporary art across the county. Hundreds of artists open their studio doors for one week offering the rare opportunity to explore behind the scenes of their work.Cornwall has long been renown for it’s creative and modern art scene, inspiring artists from a number of disciplines: ceramics, jewellery making, landscape painting, sculpture, printing making and more, and a huge variety of artists and makers take part in the event.

It’s a great opportunity to take a tour of unseen Cornwall – through remote cottages and chapels, beach side studios and historic buildings, often far from the tourist trail. Take the chance to meet the artists behind the work, discuss their inspirations and shop for truly unique finds.

Many of the studios are family friendly and offer beautiful gardens and locations to keep the kids busy whilst parents quiz the artist on a particular technique they use. The event also gives visitors the rare chance to attend one-on-one workshops with the artists and learn specialist techniques in a variety of disciplines from painting to jewellery making.
