Withy Lore exhibition - Museum of Cornish Life

Nov 24, 2025
1 min read

The summer of 2025 flew by and before we knew it, September had arrived and myself and Storylines were setting up our second Withy Lore exhibition at the Musuem of Cornish Life in Helston, Cornwall! not all that far away from home :)


The museum was once the towns market building and now holds a large collection of objects full of Cornish history, including baskets and a mystery withy pot.



We were kindly given the exhibition room upstairs and with its tall ceiling, large windows and curved walls we could tell it would have a different feel to the space we had in Truro. Smaller in scale, we couldn't display everything, which meant we had to carefully select what we felt would fit without compromising on the stories we wished to share. We knew we only had a few days to put it all together, before welcoming those involved in the project to come and have a look at the final result, which was quite nerve wracking, but also a lovely excuse, once again, to all get together over tea and cake!



We would like to thank the Musuem of Cornish Life for having us, also our funders for their support with this project The Fishmongers Company, Basket Makers' Association and the Little Parc Owles Trust and of course all of those involved and supporting the project!


Thank you for reading :)

mình có lần lướt đọc mấy trao đổi trên mạng شيخ روحاني thì thấy nhắc nên cũng tò mò mở ra xem thử cho biết. mình không tìm hiểu sâu chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn để quan sát bố cục cách sắp xếp جلب الحبيب các mục và trình bày nội جلب الحبيب dung tổng thể. cảm giác là các phần được trình bày khá gọn, các hurentest berlin mục rõ ràng Huren Berlin nên đọc lướt cũng không bị rối với mình như vậy là đủ để nắm tin cơ bản rồi. جلب الحبيب

The curved walls and tall windows sound like the perfect backdrop for the withy work—and a mystery pot is exactly the kind of thing that’d pull me in. I’ve been meaning to dig into more Cornish basketry history, so this is a lovely nudge to plan a visit. I’ve been using https://image-to-3d.com

The curved walls and tall windows in that old market building must have made the withy displays look incredible—especially with that mystery pot adding to the intrigue. I've been meaning to dig deeper into Cornish basketry history, so this is perfect timing. https://ai-hairstyle-changer.org

The mystery withy pot sounds like such a brilliant hook for the exhibition—love that you leaned into the building’s history as a market hall. I’ve been using a similar approach for my own craft displays, and it’s amazing how much character those curved walls add. Check out https://cowork-code.com
