This study of the Pinwill Sisters traces their woodcarving designs across Cornwall and Devon, emphasizing their place as part of a wider aesthetic revolution. It addresses in particular the skill and craft of Violet Pinwill (1874-1957), studying her artistry alongside other woodcarvers such as Grinling Gibbons (1648-1721), as well as artists later into the twentieth century (Barbara Hepworth and John Skeaping).
