A plethora of interactive activities are set to enrich the forthcoming St Ives September Festival experience, with offerings spanning from pottery to yoga.

The biannual musical and artistic event, beginning on September 14, is to provide an expansive array of workshops across 15 days, inviting eager festival-goers who desire a taste of active participation.

With 24 scheduled classes across a fortnight, St Ives School Of Painting is to host a multitude of art-related opportunities, supplemented by Barnoon Arts, which offer both indoor and outdoor classes for amateurs to experienced creatives.

Wild Sketching, Drawing Buildings of St Ives, and a Festival Portrait Challenge are among the enlisted activities, culminating in a Drop-In Art Room on September 28.

Barnoon's Zoe Eaton will also contribute with her Intuitive Abstract Painting class as part of St Ives Library's diverse programme of workshops, which includes Creative Writing and Photography workshops along with two Poetry Workshops hosted by Ivor Frankell and Stephen Bales.

Supporting outdoor activities, St Ives Society of Artists will conduct Abstraction On The Beach led by Liz Hough, with indoor activities including Sam Reese's Wearable Art class at their Crypt Gallery.

Other workshops feature Botanical Relief Printing with Annabel Wilkes at St Ives Community Orchard's new Core building and Printing With A Gelli Plate by Cornwall Arts Workshops at The Island Centre.

Festival enthusiasts can also craft a Tie Dye T-shirt or try Printing On Fabric with Jo McIntosh at the Bayspace.

The Leach Pottery promises hands-on experiences during their Bowl In Bowl In A Bowl and Make A Pourer evenings.

Visitors seeking physical ventures can discover Church Bells at Towednack Church, join Ann Nicol for Iyengar Yoga at Bayspace or attempt one of the four Introduction to Aerial Arts or Trapeze sessions with Tree Stewart and her Sky High Arts team at The Island Centre.
