“Newlyn has a different buzz to St Ives because it’s a working fishing harbour and port,” says London-based artist Georg Wilson, who spent two months earlier this year at Anchor Studio – the 1888-built, part-granite-cottage studio used by Newlyn School artists Stanhope and Elizabeth Forbes. “You can watch the weather changing across the bay through the vast windows. The concentration I had there was like nothing I’ve experienced before.”
