The Cornwall School of Art, Craft and Jewellery was founded by two UK craft and jewellery artists, Julia Rai and Marion Wilson. Their vision is for this centre to bring together the very best teachers in the fields of art, craft and jewellery, in an inspiring creative environment.
Based at Coldrenick Farm in Bodmin, the School provides students of all levels with a safe and supportive learning environment. From short taster classes through to longer intensive courses, the School caters for a wide range of art, craft and jewellery making subjects.
The School is in a converted barn on a working sheep farm. The farm dates back to the 1800's and has been in the current owner's family since that time. The courtyard outside has a number of granite standing stones reclaimed from a Dutch barn which used to stand on the site. The location is rural and quiet, completely conducive to a relaxed and creative break from everyday life.
