St Ives




It's starting to get a bit lighter here and there are the first signs of winter starting to loose its grip. I love winter but I also love our changing seasons and the blue skies we've seen over the last few days are making me think about our annual week in St Ives Cornwall (not for a while yet but it's good to have it to look forward to!). For anyone who hasn't been to St. Ives it is a fantastic place to visit. Lots of beaches (some more suitable for surfing and some more suitable for little kids) all wrapped round a town full of higgledy-piggledy houses and cobbled streets.
Then there's the art connection - lots of artists with work exhibited everywhere you turn. Louise McClary www.newmillenniumgallery.co.uk/pdfs/LouiseMcClary05.pdf , Michael Rees http://www.badcocksgallery.co.uk/show.php?artistId=23&showId=22 and last year I found a ceramicist I really liked http://www.lindastyles.co.uk/archives.html in the wonderful St Ives Printmakers Gallery.
http://www.printmakersgallery.co.uk/index.htm Traces of Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson and Alfred Wallis etc everywhere you turn and the fabby Tate St Ives right on the beach. http://www.tate.org.uk/stives/
