Stephen Fuller
We are delighted to be the host of Stephen Fuller's latest painting in his Royal Albert Bridge range of pictures.
Stephen, known by some locals as the Bridge Man, has displayed many of his works here at Driftwood. His home here in Saltash overlooks the bridge and so he can draw inspiration from the dramtic visual effects of the bridge in different sunlight and weather conditions. Aside from the Bridge, Stephen is a remarkable artist with a diverse range of subject matter and media in his portfolio
His painting will take pride of place in our window from the 15th February
Take a look at Stephen Fuller’s Artfull Gallery website to find out more.
St Piran’s Day - 5th March
Saint Piran is the patron saint of Cornwall and St Piran’s Day - or Gool Piran in Cornish - is Cornwall’s national day. Indeed, it was celebrated with a day off by the tinners of Cornwall when tin and slate mining was the major industry in this part of the country.
