We’re so excited to reveal new paintings from Tabby Booth now available to buy online and in the gallery, either individually or as a pair.

These striking original paintings, ‘PEACOCK I’ & ‘PEACOCK II’, feature Tabby’s signature silhouetted birds, created using waxed acrylic sgraffito on wood panels and beautifully presented in dark wood floating frames. Each piece measures 87 × 62.5cm, including the frame.

Bold, distinctive and full of character, these silhouetted birds are guaranteed to make a huge impact in a space. We love them displayed together, but they’re equally striking individually.

Swipe to take a closer look.

Our gallery is full of character. From the truly unique artwork adorning the walls to the historic building that houses it, every corner is filled with creativity, character and a little bit of history.

A rustic, raw gallery space with a presence all of its own — there’s nowhere quite like it.

Upstairs, you’ll find a treasure trove of eclectic art, while downstairs, our quiet basement space is filled with walls adorned with Cornish-made masterpieces.

We’re pretty sure you’ll discover something that catches your eye.

Come and explore our unique collection of alternative Cornish art this weekend. 🖤

We’re open Saturday & Sunday, 10-5.

We're excited to introduce Amelia K Fulton, an Australian artist living and working in Cornwall. Her practice explores the natural world, mythology and folklore through paint, print, pointillism and ceramics.

Working predominantly with pottery since 2022, Amelia places a strong emphasis on sustainable, locally sourced materials. Her recent practice has seen her foraging wild clay in Cornwall, alongside teaching ceramics from her home studio.

We love the organic, timeless quality of her work; each piece feels like a relic unearthed from the ground, carrying traces of another time.

Amelia's work is available now in the gallery and online.

Intriguing, mysterious and slightly eerie, these pieces are full of atmosphere and character. The perfect choice if you’re looking for artwork to bring a little edge, personality and interest to your space.

If you like your art that’s a bit weird and dark, look no further…

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again… art should be for everyone.

Affordable, accessible art will always be at the heart of what we do. We know affordability looks different for everyone, which is why we’re proud to offer original artwork across a wide range of price points.

There’s something incredibly special about owning an original, handmade piece of art. And in a world that’s becoming increasingly digital and artificial, we think the individuality and human touch of something made by a person will only become more meaningful.

Swipe to explore some of our most affordable original artworks, because beautiful, original art doesn’t have to break the bank.
