Ten artists and makers – who all have a connection with Cornwall - have each created collections of new work inspired by this thin strip of footpath that clings to the edge of the land.

     Full of the Joys introduced two artists whose work I discovered for the first time in Gallery Tresco on the Isles of Scilly in May 2018. I was equally captivated by the wonderful sense of calm in Sophie Harding’s delightful and distinctive paintings, as I was by the energy and colours of Sara Bor’s landscapes and it was wonderful to re-unite them at the Byre Gallery.
