Illustrated talks on a range of Cornish subjects take place in the Cornish Coffee Lounge at Newquay Museum. To find out more checkout and follow our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/TowanVintage
Besides books there are original vintage paintings available to buy of Cornish scenes or by Cornish artists, as well as vintage Cornish studio pottery. We also support local artists and have contemporary paintings for sale at Towan Vintage in the Cornish Coffee Lounge.
If you have digital images on your mobile perhaps, why not print these off and share them in a Christmas card to family and friends. Digital is great, but in a nice frame a photograph can make a lovely thoughtful and affordable present.
