St. Peter’s Studio is a historic net and sail loft, where originally Cornish fishermen used to set their nets and make their sails.  Once the nets or sails were made, they would be taken down to the harbour front or Porthmeor Beach, both of which are about a minute or so walk away from the house.  

Later in time the space and light meant it was an ideal studio space for the St. Ives artists, we think there was an artist’s studio here from the 1920’s onwards. In 1955 Bill Redgrave and Peter Lanyon set up the St. Peter’s Studio art school here.  Here they worked with Terry Frost, and many other artists who were to become influential in the St Ives fine art environment. We have all the original documents explaining the history of this lovely Grade 2 listed house back to the 1850’s.
