Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens, Penzance, Cornwall

We were lucky enough to visit Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens today. It's a really fantastic place near Penzance in Cornwall. We had heard a lot of positive reports about the place and it exceeded all expectations. A really beautiful garden with some fantastic sculptures by David Nash, Richard Long, Tim Shaw. James Turrell and others. I was very pleased to be asked to have work in the Gallery/shop. The space is great and has some lovely work for sale including Peter Swanson's fantastic pots.
