Susanna Webster

I help with the education programme, including special needs workshops, which are regularly held in the gallery. This has led me to offer presentations to children’s hospices around the country.

I now also offer professional presentations to accompany Falmouth Art Gallery’s Bit of a dive touring exhibition of underwater photographs.

Having completed my MA in print making at Camberwell College I felt it would be good experience working behind the scenes at a lively public gallery.

I was asked to design a print installation as a centrepiece for the River exhibition, which also included work by J.M.W.Turner RA, Henry Scott Tuke RA, Peter Firmin and Francis Hewlett.
 

Verity Sidgwick

Volunteering at Falmouth has certainly increased my confidence and confirmed my desire to pursue a career in museums.

However, undoubtedly the most impressive skill I will take with me is the ability to eat my own body weight in doughnuts.


 

Poh Lai Lim

Working at Falmouth Art Gallery is marvellous. I get to learn many museum related topics from cataloguing to hanging children's educational works and masterpieces. I am guided and work with a team of friendly staff and it is a great opportunity for me to meet many interesting people.
 

Elizabeth Waddling

Growing up and living in Falmouth I have been surrounded by a very creative and artistic community. The whole vibrancy and unique atmosphere of the people and the Cornish landscape have influenced me, giving me a strong interest in the visual arts

Alan Hall

An integral part of the History of Modern Art & Design programme I was studying at College was the requirement to complete two weeks work placement in a suitable environment. I would not be working in large London based museums like some of my fellow students. For pragmatic reasons I chose to look for somewhere local to work and Falmouth Art Gallery fitted the bill.
