Barbara Hepworth's studio, home and garden, St. Ives. (bron: Heart Shaped)

In September 1949 Babara Hepworth bought the Trewyn studios in the centre of St. Ives. Initially the building was used only as a studio but, as her marriage broke down soon after, it also became her home. She continued to live there until the fire in 1975 in which she died.

Hepworth asked in her will that Trewyn Studios and the adjacent garden, with a group of her sculptures placed as she wished, be permanently open to the public. Today the studio is a museum dedicated to her work, managed by the Tate.
