St Ives, situated on the North coast of Cornwall, has been the inspiration for artists, writers, poets and creatives from all walks of life.
Looking back in time the first artist arrived in St Ives in the late 1800’s and found golden sands, perfect light and a mild climate in which to work. Artists’ communities were formed and have continued to do so to this day.
