WALK and DRAW PENRYN’S EDIBLE SPACES
WITH KITTY HILLIER
In collaboration with Loveland and Incredible Edible Penryn
SAT 15 JUNE / 11AM - 1PM
WALK and DRAW PENRYN’S EDIBLE SPACES
FREE
A walking tour of Penryn’s edible spaces, led by community garden volunteers from Loveland and Incredible Edible Penryn with artist Kitty Hillier.
Setting off from Art Centre Penryn, walkers will discover Penryn’s hidden community gardens and meet some of the people who make them grow.
Kitty Hillier will offer optional creative drawing tasks en route, with all materials provided and no previous experience of art needed. The tour will finish at Loveland where walkers will be invited to enjoy magnificent views over Penryn.
This walking tour is aimed at people who may not have previously visited Penryn’s community gardens, and would like to find out more about the connections between local food, gardening and wellbeing.
This one-off, free event is part of a programme at Art Centre Penryn to test ideas for new creative groups.
Attendees will have the option to give their feedback afterwards – all responses will help us shape a future community programme of regular activities.
Terrain will include pavement, steps, a river path, and field.
Free. Limited places. Booking required.
ABOUT KITTY
Kitty Hillier develops courses for Art Centre Penryn that encourage a personal engagement with nature and an exploration of abstracting techniques and mixed media approaches.
Kitty’s work is rooted in her belief that fundamentally all things are connected. Seeking this out both above and below the surface of what she sees in nature, biomorphic forms are distilled, overlapped and reconstructed through various means. The results are effortlessly playful images and sculptures that reference these observations.
Kitty was born in London and grew up in rural Dorset and Somerset. Kitty studied Foundation at Falmouth before gaining a First-Class Honours Degree in Fine Art Painting at Bath School of Art in 2007. Kitty returned to Cornwall in 2015 where she now lives and works. Her work is held in private and corporate collections internationally.
