Cornwall Open Studios 2025
COS Studio 5
Two long weekends of Open Studios : 24-26 MAY and 30 MAY-1 JUNE : 11am to 5pm daily
This year is the first time Wild West Works has taken part in Cornwall Open Studios, though I’ve joined in previous years from my home in Newlyn. Now based in St Just, it’s great to be able to welcome visitors into a dedicated studio space, without them having to wander through my house!
I’ve put together a new series of poster images especially for this year’s event. These works begin with large, expressive mark-making and are then brought together digitally. They move away from traditional painting techniques, instead exploring how layering materials and processes can open up new ways of making images, embracing the unexpected and the playful.
It’s also half term, so my daughter has been incredibly patient (and helpful!), even getting involved with sales.
If you can’t make it in person, you can still view and purchase work online:
