Three Artists and Another One
Four very different artists, living in and around the beautiful Helford creek village of Constantine, are opening their studios as part of the Open Studios Cornwall 2012, which runs from Saturday 2nd June to Sunday 10th June.
Kathy Atkins will have her delightfully light and fresh mixed media paintings, together with her drawings, there being both framed and unframed available.
George Willoughby’s work although produced mainly in oils now takes in some exciting exploration into watercolours and printmaking – these skills he combines with his love of the local landscape.
Lin Williams will have alongside her pastel traditional landscape and seascapes a new venture into oil and mixed media – hoping to trap the light and atmosphere with a new medium.
Marian Saunders – ‘the other one’ will be showing her stunningly vibrant and colourful jewellery, together with embellished textile and knitted accessories, cards and mixed media panels.
Each of the artists will be very pleased to welcome you – every studio will be bursting with art to suit all tastes and budgets. Just look for the big ‘O’ signs on the roads into Constantine. We have produced a trail map (available at each location), showing how to get around between the studios by road or on footpaths through the woods. Beautiful art, a woodland walk and maybe a delicious lunch – what’s not to like?

Tolmen Movies present Dean Spanley
An Anglo-New Zealand collaboration, starring Peter OʼToole and Judy Parfitt, in what the Guardian describes as a “delightful, oddly moving film, immaculately acted and nicely located in its period”. “Faintly bonkers” says Empire Magazine. Mmm – how to sum it up? A very satisfying fantasy comedy drama, perhaps – but come and see for yourself.

Laura Knight – In the Open Air
PORT NAVAS VILLAGE HALL
Laura Knight – In the Open Air
Dame Laura Knight (1877 – 1970) was a great celebrity in her time and her work is loved as much today as it was at the height of her fame. From her earliest days she wanted to paint in the open air, and this work began at Staithes, on the Yorkshire coast, and developed at Laren in Holland. It came to the fore when she arrived in Cornwall with her husband, Harold, in 1907 and embraced the county’s wonderful light, its seas and rocky coast. This exhibition includes outdoor paintings executed throughout her long and distinguished career, including depictions of Romany life, the spectacular panoramas below the Malvern Hills and the devastated townscape that forms the backdrop of her famous depiction of the Nuremberg war trials.
An outing is being arranged to visit Penlee House Gallery and Museum, Penzance to see the ‘Laura Knight Exhibition’ on
Wednesday 4 July 2012.
We will be traveling by mini bus to Penzance leaving Port Navas at 9.30. At the gallery we will be given a brief introduction to the exhibition, There will also be an opportunity to see a selection of the work of the Newlyn School and The Museum’s archeological collection. Lunch and drinks will be available at the licensed café overlooking the attractive park.
The cost will be about £15 per head, depending on whether we can fill the bus. This will include the entrance fee. Places are limited; we can only take 16, so please book soon . To make your booking and if you need any more information please contact

Peter Knight of Steeleye Span presents Gigspanner
Peter Knight’s Gigspanner has been hailed by Songlines magazine as “another milestone in folk’s rebirth of cool moment”, but those in the know will tell you that there is far more to Gigspanner than meets the eye.
A Bedrock of British traditional music is to be expected from Steeleye Span’s legendary fiddle player, but Gigspanner’s musical reach probes into Eastern European, French, African and even Aboriginal influences. It is no surprise that author Terry Pratchett wrote that “Peter Knight can spin the world on his Bow”. It is music played with a potency and love that leaves audiences spellbound.
Peter is joined by Roger Flack on Guitar, and Vincent Salzfaas on Congas and Djembe, both intelligent and powerful musicians in their own right. Together they promise “a blistering pace of a flamboyant musical world tour” (Lancashire Evening Post).
Gigspanner’s Debut Album ‘Lipreading the Poet’ was named as one of the best 15 Global Albums of 2009. But leave any pre-conceived ideas at the door, and ditch the pigeonholes. If you have a taste for “music of intelligently crafted brilliance” (Songlines magazine) there is something here to nurture your soul.
Tickets £10
