Adaptable Travel offer you the opportunity to take your students to Cornwall on an art and design school trip that will inspire your students. With your group based in St Ives, you will easily be able to take in the Tate St Ives, Barbara Hepworth Museum or undertake a specialist art workshop with Greg Humphries. Then students can take out their sketch book to capture the details of the harbour or a nearby Cornish tin mine perched atop the rugged landscape of the beautiful Cornish coast.And when in Cornwall, why not add in a surf lesson, a visit to the world-famous Eden Project or one of the abundance of attractions in Cornwall. Be it the Minack Theatre, St Michael's Mount or a sleepy fishing village, Cornwall will both amaze and inspire your students.
