A private concierge for Cornish art and making
Days with Cornwall's artists and makers, arranged around you
Time in working studios across West Penwith, Fal & Truro, the North Coast and South East Cornwall, arranged personally into a day or a week around the people who make the work.
What Cornwall Made does
Cornwall Made is a private concierge for Cornish art and making. We arrange time with the county's working artists and makers — painters, ceramicists, furniture makers, metalsmiths, weavers and more — and sequence it into days built around you.
Tell us when you're coming and what you'd like to do. Spend a morning learning ceramics with one maker and an afternoon in a painter's studio with another, then end the day on the coast as the light goes.
It isn't about finding an artist. It's about spending real time with one.
Who is behind Cornwall Made
Cornwall Made is part of DoAnythingNow, a network for artists, craftspeople, architects, designers and trades in the built environment. It was developed by Giles Paul Shorter with Helen Feiler, Jackie Kilpatrick, Cornelius Amadi and Ben Weller.
