EDENVIEW B&B 2009 SEASON
I can't believe how long it's been since I last posted!! We have had a wonderful busy Easter weekend. Luckily the weather was kind to the guests. Despite the depressing economic climate bookings are coming in with new and returning guests which is always nice. We have had some of the rooms decorated. Some beautiful new soft furnishings to add that special finish. All rooms have Tea & Coffee making facilities along with a refreshment tray filled with goodies.
Wow what a line up they have for us this year with rumours of more to come!!! Watch this space. So Far we have:
JULY 18TH
Colour Explosion and Easter
April 4 - April 19
Potential Picassos, might-be Monets and wannabe Warhols are invited to paint to their art's content at the Eden Project this Easter. It's your chance to put mops, sponges, hands, plungers and brooms to paint and paper in a giant explosion of vibrant colour.
Eminent artist Anthony Eyton exhibits 10 years of work at Eden
World-renowned artist Anthony Eyton has opened an exhibition of his work charting the construction and evolution of the Eden Project on April 10. The exhibition, entitled Evolution of a Cornish Clay Pit, features more than 30 works ranging from the russet and grey vista of the empty pit, through the cranes, workmen and gargantuan scaffolds of the Big Build period to scenes from Eden as we know it now.
Royal Academician Anthony has been painting Eden since he was introduced to Bodelva pit – the former china clay pit in which the project was built - by Eden’s Chief Executive Tim Smit in August 1996. Tim had been impressed with Anthony’s paintings of the construction of the Tate Modern in London and persuaded the artist to chart the building of Eden. Anthony has been the project’s Artist in Residence since 1999.
