This week my focus has primarily been photographing the activities that are on offer in Falmouth. Most of these take place outdoors and typically in nice weather. Luckily for me this week has probably been the best weather we've had for months, but it's still not even close to the sunshiney dream that is town in the summer. I guess that's just bad timing on my part - who makes a travel guide based in the UK over the winter period?! So I've had to make the most of it where I got the chance, resulting in documenting several indoor activities instead... 

It has to be said, out of the water there aren't too many things to do in Falmouth. However, since opening in 2017 Star Glazers has been entertaining crowds of all ages with the simple pleasure of pottery painting. It isn't a total surprise that it's become so popular, what with the arts university a matter of minutes away and a general buzz of creative energy about the place. What has surprised me though is that people keep returning for more, and not just for special occasions either; if you've got a couple of hours to kill it's just a peaceful and kind of unexpected way to pass the time. Plus you get something so personal at the end of it! What makes Star Glazers even more appealing is the warm welcome and attentiveness of Sarah the owner. It's so clear she loves her job and is passionate about the art being created there, which in turn makes it a comfortable environment to be with your friends making something special; it's even fun if you don't have an artistic bone in your body! And it doesn't have to be an expensive trip either; with a wide variety of objects to paint, all at prices ranging from about £5-£20, it's an activity that suits any budget. It's just a rainy day well spent really, who could complain about that?
