The Trelissick estate is celebrating 70 years of National Trust care with a summer of creative workshops led by Cornish artists.

Visitors will be able to get hands-on in the barn, exploring artistic techniques from monoprinting and mixed media to family writing and foraged sculpture.

Each session will have as its theme “What does Trelissick mean to you?”, and the resulting artwork can be submitted to Your Trelissick, an exhibition opening this autumn in the main house.

Property operations manager Jen Pina, said: “We’re so excited to be working with a fantastic line-up of local artists to mark this special anniversary. Whether you’re trying something new or rediscovering a love of making, this is a wonderful opportunity to connect with Trelissick through creativity.

“We’ve already seen some beautiful and thoughtful pieces being created, and can’t wait to welcome even more people to get involved..”

The workshops are part of a wider anniversary programme that includes Trelissick 70, an exhibition running in the house until September 15, which explores the estate’s history and the legacy of former owner Ida Copeland, who gifted the house and grounds to the National Trust in 1955.
