Private Art Experiences

A Different Kind of Memory

Cornwall has a way of staying with you.

These private art experiences are designed for those who feel connected to the coastline - not just visually, but emotionally. Whether you are visiting for a week or returning to your own holiday home, this is an opportunity to slow down and create something meaningful from your time here.

Hosted personally by Gemma Lessinger, each session is an intimate exploration of texture, reclaimed materials and coastal memory. No artistic experience is required, only a willingness to pause.

This is not a class.
It is a moment carved out of your stay.

Where It Takes Place

Experiences can be hosted:

– In the comfort of your holiday property (property dependant)
– Within Gemma’s working studio in Cornwall
– At a specially selected coastal location (venue hire arranged separately if required)

Each setting offers a different atmosphere - from relaxed in-home creativity to a fully immersive coastal experience.
