Visit Trewyn Studio in St Ives, Cornwall, the home, workshop and sculpture garden of Barbara Hepworth, one of the leading figures of modern British sculpture. She was among the first to pierce her sculptures with holes, opening up solid forms in stone, wood and later bronze, and drew on the Cornish landscape, sea and light. Her large bronze Single Form stands outside the United Nations headquarters in New York. See her tools, works in progress and sculptures set among the garden's plants, and hear about her process. Small group, casual conversation.

I'm a British sculptor working in stone, wood and bronze, known for opening up solid forms with holes and hollows. My work draws on the landscape, sea and light of Cornwall, where I live and work at Trewyn Studio in St Ives.
