A Painterly Brew
Favourite places are the ones you look forward to going back to. This is the start of a mini series on coastal St Ives. Bringing you the art, culture and fishing nets that provide such a lovely back drop to the eating holes.
My favourite cafe views can be found at Tate St Ives. There is a natural light unlike any other and a spatial quality framed by roof top views across the soft sandy Porthmeor beach that calms the soul and sparks your creative imagination.
We had come to see the exhibition of one of our favourite British painters William Scott having spent the morning at Leach Pottery.
It is the perfect place for a Mint Tea, submergence of art and a stroll around the headland. The Tate gallery at St Ives was opened in 1993, to provide a home for the abundant paintings, textiles, etchings and ceramics created by the St Ives group of British artists who settled here.
Artists, Fishermen and Potters.
A truly magical combination, in a truly magical place.
