Colour & Coast Exhibition - Artists Working with Ashley Hanson

01208 77616   Mon- Fri 10am - 5pm

We are delighted to announce an exhibition featuring many of the students work that has been produced in Ashley's recent workshops 'Colour and Coast' at both St Breward Village Hall and Truro College.

Ashley says ‘ We  have had a great response to the exhibition from the artists taking part. There is a healthy mix of people at the workshops, from beginners to more experienced artists and full credit to all the students for rising to the challenge and making work that deserves to be shown! I think it is very important for artists to show their work and to invite criticism, good and bad- plus the artists get to meet and see each other’s work’.
