RACHELDAMERELL Blewetts Wharf, Malpas Road, Truro, TR1 1QH

Garden designs and site-specific instal-lations by commission. Paintings for sale. Natural landscapes are the starting point of my work and plants always play a central role.My approach to designing gardens is acombination of ‘painting with plants’ and ‘celebrating seasonal change’.

SOPHIECAPRON Blewetts Wharf, Malpas Road, Truro, TR1 1QH

Sophie explores textures through multi-media. She is intrigued by surfaces, the way they change and decay over a peri-od of time and the memories and stories they can hide and reveal. Cracks, chips, spray paint, rust and algae all play an important part in inspiring her work..

DANIEL COLE Blewetts Wharf, Malpas Road, Truro, TR1 1QH

Working mainly in oils, I paint figurative and semiabstract landscapes of Corn-wall and Norfolk. I am a member of the Society of Wildlife Artists (SWLA) and so a proportion of my work is concerned with the natural world, especially birds.

KAYWILLMOT Blewetts Wharf, Malpas Road, Truro, TR1 1QH

Figurative prints, ceramics and paintings.

Directions: Trafalgar Roundabout Truro, Malpas exit, 100m right next to Radio Cornwall.

RICHARDHALLEpiphany House, Truro, TR1 3DR

All my senses are stimulated by what I see. My spirit is enhanced. I am inspired and motivated by the energy of this im-pact. I observe and paint what I have ex-perienced. Reciprocals and Reflections are a source of beauty, visual games and metaphors.

LINDSEY MORGANLUNDIEEpiphany House, Truro, TR1 3DR

Abstract paintings and prints that con-sider space, natural forms and colour. A degree student at University College Falmouth.

MAGGYWALTERSEpiphany House, Truro, TR1 3DR

Current work represents an explora-tion of our physical and spiritual re-lationship to landscape. Images arise through constant observation and abstraction of the changing patterns of nature, at times utilizing the Active Imagination (Jung) to capture a sense of both outer and inner worlds.

JEANNIGRANT-NELSON39 St Gluvias Street, Penryn TR10 8BJ

My acrylics/prints can be found in pri-vate collections across the world and in UK galleries. They depict messages of freedom, openness, adventure and pos-sibility. I am the creator of Visual Aware-ness Ltd, an art event company.I love the sparkle in a person’s eyes when they see their talent..

NINADUCKERTrolver Old Farm, Feock, Truro, TR3 6RP

My porcelain and stoneware ceramics are inspired by the sea and landscape of Cornwall on my daily walks. I apply oxides, sand, stones, paint, glass and wire to the surfaces to create texture and colour, multifiring them to erode and expose lay-ers. My studio is on my smallholding with views of Restronguet Creek.

JANEBEECROFT1 Bar Terrace, Falmouth, TR11 4BP

Well known Falmouth artist creates un-usual and imaginative artwork inspired by nature and personal experiences. Varied techniques help to give a mysti-cal/abstract feel to the work.Art and tea in the house, studio and gar-den. Originals, prints and cards available at a full range of prices.

ANNIEHELLYER2 Florence Place, Falmouth, TR11 3NJ

In my hand built ceramics I maintain a simplicity and directness of shape, colour and surface throughout the whole process of making. I often burnish my pots sev-eral times which enables me to really get to know the characteristics of individual pieces. The drawn decoration also allows a similar intimacy with the form.

DAVE COOPER1 Bar Terrace, Falmouth, TR11 4BP

My compositions include flora, fauna and human elements in settings created by my own thoughts and imagination. I am a self taught artist. My favoured medium is acrylic which I use as watercolour on a highly textured paper to achieve my desired effects.

JEFFHELLYER2 Florence Place, Falmouth, TR11 3NJ

I enjoy making images and objects where I can assemble collections and invent relationships that prod the imagination, stimulate the vision and provide a ve-hicle for a continuing engagement with pictorial and sculptural speculation.

SARAHMcCARTNEY66 Marlborough Road, Falmouth, TR11 3LL

I make wall mounted, sculptural poems. I find beauty in the small and discarded, bringing together found things and embed-ding them in resin. These poems I frame with recycled wood and copper to make them precious and sacred as are our memo-ries and dreams. I also paint and draw the things I find and the places I find them.

AMANDABRIERWoodland View, Argal, Falmouth TR11 5PE

Functional and decorative pottery. Fromvases, bowls, mugs and jugs to trinket boxes and hand painted tiles. Visitors can browse finished pots and step into the studio to see the making process. Prices range from £5–£300. Parking available.

KATRIPAAKKARIFalmouth Wharves, Falmouth, TR11 2TF

For me art is a way to subject thoughts in matters, or reverse to find meanings in substances. My northern background isinfluencing the work going under the surface, showing the silent and wretch-ed side of life. It’s based on traditional ways of sculpting, casting and authentic use of video and sound.

GEORGEWILLOUGHBYHawthorns, Constantine, Falmouth TR11 5QG

Oil paintings, watercolours and print-making inspired by the Cornish sea-scape and landscape in a realistic to im-pressionistic style. Studio is situated on the outskirts of Constantine surrounded by its’ beautiful creeks and woodland walks. Prices £15–£250. Easy parking.

LINDASTYLES37 Trevethan Road, Falmouth, TR11 2AS

My practice explores instinctual form in relation to unorthodox surface, the intention being to achieve a chaotic or-der. I prefer my work to serve a purpose, even if that purpose is not based on a functionality that is obvious in the tra-ditional sense.

KATIEATKINSComfort Cottage, Constantine TR11 5AD

My work is colourful and inspired by the natural world. Landscapes and still-life in all mediums. Work for sale will include cards, paper works framed and unframed, as well as canvases. Prices for originals range from £25–£350. My studio is in a lovely cottage garden.

The Perfect Storm (Cert - 12)After returning to port with a poor catch, Captain Billy Tyne (Clooney) convinces

The ferry will leave the Feock side at 9.20pm and the Roseland side at 9.30pm, so please be ready to board at this time.

Ponsharden Park and Ride

FAL RIVER WALK 9.30am £12.50This annual event is organised by the Rotary Club of Truro Boscawen. It has been running for several years and has proved a great success, and great fun, for all taking part and for the Charities who have benefitted. The Fal River Walk is part of the Fal River Festival week. Choose between two scenic walks alongside the Fal River from Falmouth to St Mawes, including special boat and ferry crossings and both ending with a cream tea.

The aim of the event is to raise as much money as possible for the chosen chari-ties of Phoenix Stroke Appeal, Marie Curie Care and local Rotary charities. Over the past four years the walk has raised over £60,000 for local charities, so please come and join us to increase that figure again this year. SHORT WALK - 5 MILES (White line) Check in at Ponsharden, Penryn, for de-parture at 12 noon by boat direct to the Trelissick Gardens’ Pontoon (just down river from King Harry Ferry). From the Pontoon walkers will then take a boat shuttle across the Fal to Turnaware. From Turnaware it’s the same as the Long Walk.

TEAM PRIZE: Team entries are welcome, maybe in fancy dress, with a prize of £150 Penrose Outdoors vouchers to be given to the team raising the most spon-sorship. NB: between 4 & 6 in a team. INDIVIDUAL PRIZE: Every walker raising £100 will be entered in a prize draw for £100 vouchers sponsored by Pfizer Animal Health .

LONG WALK - 14 MILES (Brown line) Check in at Ponsharden, Penryn, for departures across the Penryn River at 9.30am & 10.00am. Walkers will then head for Mylor, Pandora Inn (boat shuttle across the Restronguet Creek), Feock, North & South Woodland Walks at Trelis-sick, then to Trelissick Pontoon, (boat shuttle across the Fal to Turnaware), to Messack Farm, St Just in Roseland Church, St Mawes Castle and finish at the St Mawes Memorial Hall. Take a Rodda’s cream tea before returning to Falmouth by ferry.

The aim of the event is to raise as much money as possible for the chosen chari-ties and as a guide each walker should try to raise £100, either by being sponsored or by making a donation. This figure is not compulsory, however it’s in the spirit of the event that each participant makes a contribution to the good causes fund. Whatever the amount raised, the efforts made will be very much appreciated. Booking: EssentialContact: Geoff [email protected]

A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS...

The “Friends of the Festival” scheme is an opportunity for smaller organisations to benefit from a big profile that this popular event can offer.

Launched in 2011, this is the second year of the scheme and we are delighted to welcome friends old and new. For their £80 membership, each of our Friends enjoy being included here in the pro-gramme, as well as their logo and link on our website, a listing on the West Briton double page spread, free and discounted tickets for various events – including the popular Beer Fleet launch, social media mentions, and a Friends sticker for their premises. We also include them in any other opportunities we can find along the way.

Thank you to all of our Friends displayed here. The Festival is a non-profit event and we couldn’t run it without your support alongside the rest of our sponsors.

If you would like to become our Friend for 2013, we are pleased to be offering a discount of 10% if you sign up before the end of August 2012.

Further information: please contact Eventy - Marketing & PR who manage the sponsorship and co-ordination of the Festival on: [email protected]
