Denzil Forrester Lecture ‘From Trench Town to P

Denzil Forrester Lecture

‘From Trench Town to Porthtowan’

As part of our fund-raising events Cornwall Crafts is delighted to present a talk by the artist Denzil Forrester.

Denzil came to London from Grenada at age 11 to join his family.

His natural talent for painting was soon spotted and he subsequently attended the Central School of Art.

Prior to moving to Cornwall in 2016 he was a much-respected lecturer for 30 years at Morley College of Art where his inspirational teaching influenced many students. His favourite teaching room is now named after him!

His many accolades include a Scholarship to the Royal College of Art and the prestigious Rome Scholarship.

More recently he was awarded the MBE in recognition for his services to Art. His work features in many major collections both here and in America.

Denzil will present an illustrated talk, and his natural warmth, wit and enthusiasm will make this a memorable event.
CCA Vice Chair Dr Tim Rogers

This fantastic lecture will take place on Saturday 21st of September in The Barn at Trelissick, we would ask that you arrive at 10.45 am for a 11.00 am start.

Tickets will be £12.50 per person which includes refreshments and will be sold on a first come first serve basis before the event.
