A NEW bakery opened in Truro this week and took the opportunity to showcase products and artworks of local people.
The Cornish Bakery announced yesterday (May 17) that it had opened a new store on the corner of Boscawen Street and Cathedral Lane in Truro on the site of a former bank.
Given its Cornish heritage, the Cornish Bakery has taken the opportunity to use the new store as a means of showcasing products and artworks of makers from across the county.
The wors include lights from Falmouth-based Tom Raffield, Perranarworthal-based Studioharan, and West Cornwall-based Lin Lovekin, as well as handmade tiles painted by Decorum Tiles in Wadebridge.
The store is also decorated with artworks by Ella Carty who has a studio at Krowji in Redruth.
In an announcement on its social media page yesterday, the Cornish Bakery said: "Today marks a most significant opening for us - in the capital, Cathedral city of Truro, Cornwall.
"Located on the corner of Boscawen Street and Cathedral Lane in the primary shopping area of Truro, until 1994, the property was home to a bank, before being converted into a retail space.
"Given our Cornish heritage, it was especially important to us that we utilised this opportunity to showcase the products and artworks of the talented makers from across the county. Our new bakery is adorned with lights from Falmouth-based Tom Raffield Perranarworthal-based Studioharan and West Cornwall-based Lin Lovekin.
"Our tiles are handmade and painted by Decorum Tiles in Wadebridge and artworks are by Ella Carty who has her studio at Krowji in Redruth.
"In keeping with the surrounds, in the shadow of the Cathedral spire, we have chosen the Middle Bluff from the Little Greene range for this special bakery.
"A perfect breakfast, lunch or afternoon pick-up stop off for local Truro residents and visitors alike, Sarah and her team are ready to welcome you from 8am every day.
"We thank the entire team behind this significant bakery for us."
