Kim Carlow Printmaker

Kim Carlow's printmaking studio sits just outside Tenby, and it's one of those places that rewards a quiet morning rather than a quick dash through. This isn't a vast gallery space - it's an active working studio where you can actually watch prints being made, which changes things entirely. The work focuses on linocuts and relief printing, mostly depicting Pembrokeshire landscapes and coastal scenes. You'll recognise the subjects if you've walked the clifftops around here.

It's properly absorbing if you care about craftsmanship. The prints have real character - no mass production feel about them. Most visitors spend forty minutes to an hour here, studying the framing choices and asking about techniques. Kids under eight might fidget; teenagers who've done any art tend to perk up considerably.

Admission details and opening hours weren't confirmed at research time, so ring ahead or check when you book accommodation. That said, it's the sort of place that often runs flexible hours or by appointment during quieter seasons.

For a holiday park base, Saltern is practically on your doorstep at half a mile away. Haven Kiln Park and Becks Bay Camping give you other options if Saltern's full. Tenby itself - just down the road - has everything: beaches, restaurants, the castle ruins. This works as a rainy-day activity, or a deliberate detour if you're interested in Welsh craft traditions. Don't expect high production values or shop-window gloss. It's genuinely made here, which is the whole point.
