In 2017 Field Notes re-envisaged the Penryn Arts Festival as a celebration of the creative practices of the town’s many resident artists and makers, and as an opportunity to share skills and interests. Throughout autumn and winter, a series of free artist led workshops and dinners took place in the Temperance Hall, in the centre of the town, providing opportunities for residents from different generations and communities to converse, learn skills and engage in creativity.
