Cornish Painter

Fiona Cant Studio

Hi I’m Fiona,

I paint intuitively, gathering inspiration from the beauty and colours of Cornwall. I use mixed media, and many different tools, to make a wide variety of marks.

My paintings are created layer by layer, playing with colour and mark making, contrasting transparent glazes with textured opaque paint, wiping off and scratching back to reveal hidden treasures underneath. Something eventually appears that calls to be highlighted, the deeper meaning often only revealing itself once a painting is finished.

To me this process almost feels magical, just like Cornwall.

Fish fit for a King?

The Cornish Fish Co

Hi I’m Sam,

I am extremely passionate about the quality of the fish and shellfish we are supplying, and love what I do. Along with my wife I started in selling my catch in 2016, supplying restaurants with high quality Fresh Fish from Looe.

After getting many requests we also started selling direct to the public. This is now the mainstay of our business and we love sending our fish to everyone all over the country.

Distilling Couple

Elemental Gin

Hi we are Nicki and Joe,

There’s something about this unique corner of the world that has always felt like home. However far they travelled, Cornwall always seemed to draw us back. Sometimes in life, the stars align, and for them, this happened when they came across the opportunity to become the new owners of Elemental Gin.

A bottle of Elemental or three later, and heads were swimming with the endless possibilities (and gin) and decided to take the plunge – and here we are. Driven by determination and their thirst for adventure, we uprooted our little family – chaotic toddler in tow – stepped away from the 9-5 grind, and embraced everything Cornwall and Elemental had in store for us.

Hi everyone I’m Catherine

I have been an established designer and maker of high quality jewellery since 2005 and five years ago relocated my life and work from Bristol to Cornwall.

Since early beginnings I have made contacts all over the world to ethically source an extensive collection of sterling silver and gold findings, charms, and beads; semi-precious stones; and cultured freshwater pearls which provide the foundation for all my designs.
