Words, artwork and experiences for those who feel life deeply
Creating poetry, artwork and thoughtful experiences that transform moments, memories and landscapes into something you can hold onto.
A slow, creative morning by the sea, turning a moment in Cornwall into your own handmade postcard.
Join Cornwall artist & poet Bella Wilhm for a relaxed two-hour beach and studio experience in Perranporth, Cornwall.
Beginning with a gentle walk down to the beach, using the coastline around you to gather inspiration - Bella will guide you to notice colours, textures, sounds and small details you might otherwise walk past.
Through simple creative prompts, you’ll collect marks, words and ideas before heading back to Bella’s nearby studio to turn them into your very own mixed-media postcard.
Play with charcoal, ink, collage, texture and words to create something completely personal. No art experience needed, no pressure to make something “perfect”.
Just a couple of hours slowing down and enjoying your connection with Cornwall differently.
Included:
Guided coastal inspiration walk - Ground is sandy, uneven and requires unaided stability. Bare feet welcomed.
Creative prompts to help you get making.
All materials needed.
Your finished postcard to keep.
A relaxed small group (no more than 8)
Duration: 2 hours
Location: The Nook, Perranporth, Cornwall
Spaces: Maximum 8
Perfect for solo visitors, couples, friends, creative date ideas or anyone looking for something different to do in Cornwall.

Firstly, thank you for finding your way here.
Although I’d much rather be chatting over a coffee after a sea swim or a walk along the coast path, I’m really grateful you’ve taken a moment to pause here and discover my little corner of the world.
My work begins outside, usually somewhere along the Cornish coast. Sketchbook in hand, noticing the things we so often rush past. The changing seasons, conversations with strangers, moments in nature, and the way certain places hold our memories.
For almost two years, I’ve been quietly creating from my little studio. Writing, painting and bringing together my first poetry collection. A book born from the messy, beautiful experience of being human; of growing, changing, letting go and finding our way back to ourselves.
That same process flows through everything I create. The words become artwork. The stories become keepsakes. The moments become something you can hold onto.
Whether you’ve arrived here for my poetry, a painting, a creative experience or something created especially for your own story, I hope this little corner of the internet helps you pause for a while.
I’m so glad you’re here.
