BBC Spotlight & Radio Cornwall Interview John Dyer about the Tall Ships Regatta 2014
March 18, 2014
2 min read
On Tuesday 18th March 2014 Artist John Dyer launched The BG Art & Storytelling Tall Ships Project and revealed the official Tall Ships painting to the press at Falmouth Art Gallery.
Newspapers, Radio and TV all attended the launch as well as a class of year 6 children from Constantine school who took part in a workshop with the artist.
"The Big Art & Storytelling Tall Ships Project has taken many months of planning and hard work, trust and collaboration and a shared vision and today everyone could see clearly why we have all worked so hard to get this project to launch day. It is a stunning and magical way to engage the imaginations and interest of the children in the event and the arts.
Falmouth Art Gallery turned itself into an art studio, media centre and class room today. It was filled with positive energy, highly creative people and wonderful children from Constantine School. The children were 'dazzled' ,to quote one child, at my painting and enchanted by Paul Farmer's story interpreting my painting. Each child wrote their own short story and painted, splattered & splodged with lots of exciting colour to create many new pictures. The work will be added to the special online gallery www.johndyergallery.co.uk/tallships in time for the web site launch on the 24th March at the NMMC which schools are invited to send teachers too.
It's so exciting to know that Falmouth Art Gallery have more free workshops planned on the project already and over 300 children are booked in ! That really is awesome.
It was a brilliant day for all and I feel very proud to be part of the Tall Ships and this special project. Falmouth at its best."

St Anthony-In-Meneage
Joanna Short's poster of St Anthony-In-Meneage is a companion piece to her Helford poster which we also purchased. The colors are cheerful, and it reminds us of our days in Cornwall and the lovely walk to St. Anthony.

Lovely Helford Poster
My husband and I have travelled to Cornwall from the United States a number of times through the years. Our favorite spot is Helford where we were fortunate enough to stay in a rental cottage. Joanne Short's poster brings back our memories of that lovely place. The colors are beautiful.

Vibrant, irreverent, fun
Such a vibrant, fun painting. Very different from most of the items in my collection but felt a need of something a bit irreverent & cheery 😊.
Painting extremely well packaged - perhaps a little too much so, as I struggled to separate the packing for recycling.
Thank you for such a colourful outlook on life!

I'm absolutely delighted with my privately commissioned painting
I'm absolutely delighted with my privately commissioned painting. I wanted to buy something special and particular for my sons up and coming wedding and when I saw Johns work online, I knew it would be perfect. A really delightful man, and a wonderfully charming and personal end result. I'd do this again in a heartbeat. Thank you John. Karen

Beautiful cushion
Just received the cushion I ordered, it’s absolutely gorgeous. I chose the suede finish and it’s so soft and the colours are really vibrant. It’s well made and beautifully finished.
Exactly as it looks on line . This is for a birthday present for a friend who loves Cornwall but is not long able to visit. I hope she will love it..
