A Reading of Matthew’s poetry and Winning Poems from the inaugural Matthew Lanyon Poetry Prize

New Craftsman Gallery marks ten years since the death of Cornish artist and poet Matthew Lanyon, with an exhibition of works including pieces from his definitive Bottles series, contextualised by the poetry he wrote throughout his life, addressed to friends and lovers, and to his mother.
Also on show is a new collection of coastal paintings by Sarah Woods which capture curving white sands, sea and headlands in the soft tones of Cornwall’s cool north light, alongside handcrafted furniture by St Ives maker Henry Crabb, whose practice draws on the forms and textures of the West Penwith landscape.
12th September to 9th October 2026, Private View Saturday 12th September
10:30 – 17:00

Alongside this exhibition is a Reading of Matthew Lanyon’s Poetry on Thursday 17 September. Matthew Lanyon Poetry Reading
