A Pentire with Holly Bendall



We spent a sun-drenched day with surfer and sculptor Holly Bendall. After an exhilarating morning surf at her favourite local break, we followed Holly back to her studio to glimpse her latest work in progress and unwind with a refreshing Pentire Adrift & Tonic. 

 

With an ideal swell forecast, we set out at dawn, eager to catch the morning waves at one of Holly’s favourite spots. The sea was alive with energy and the golden glow over the water made for an unforgettable session.

Afterward, we made our way back to Holly’s studio, where she poured us a glass of Pentire and spoke about her work as a sculptor.

Holly’s artistry is profoundly shaped by her deep connection to the sea and the people who call this rugged coastline home. Time in the water fuels her creative process and we couldn’t help but feel inspired by her passion and perspective.

For a glimpse of her work, you can visit her striking bronze sculpture, Waiting For Fish, which is on permanent display in Porthleven, Cornwall — a tribute to the relationship between the sea and those who depend on it.
