Paul Williams at the Clocktower

For the Festival, Porthleven artist Paul Williams has created a whole new installation in the entrance of Porthleven’s iconic clocktower – the Bickford Smith Institute. The building was originally built as an institute of Science and Literature and this is a rare opportunity to take a peek inside. Paul uses found objects and waste to create amazing art and sculptures. This supports our aim to be a sustainable festival, supporting local artists and our ocean by encouraging reuse of items where we can. You can see more of Paul’s work in his outdoor Wreckers’ Studio on Loe Bar Road.  Walk out past the clocktower and enjoy a meander along our beautiful coastline – you’ll eventually reach Wreckers on your left.
