Dame Barbara Hepworth lived at Trewyn Studio from 1949 until her death on 20 May 1975 at the age of 72. The ground floor has an exhibition of photographs, her statements about sculpture, letters, documents and other memorabilia telling the story of her life. The first floor studio includes many of her sculpture, drawings and paintings. For many thousands of visitors attracted from far and wide by Barbara Hepworth's international reputation, their most enduring memory will be of her secluded garden where, during her last twenty years, she placed major sculptures among the trees, shrubs and sub-tropical plants. |

After studying pottery in Japan, the internationally-known potter Bernard Leach came to St Ives in 1920 and, with the assistance of Shoji Hamada, started the Leach Pottery. It is now run by Janet Leach, who also studied pottery in Japan for two years, prior to coming to England in 1956 and marrying Bernard Leach. The Pottery showroom contains individual pots from Janet Leach and a display of Bernard Leach from her permanent collection. Also on show are individual pots of Trevor Corser, who has worked the pottery since 1970. |
