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

Denzil came to London from Grenada 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.
