Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hepworth's St Ives studio was preserved exactly as she left it in 1975 — down to the half-finished coffee. The film crew had to shoot around museum hours.
She was the first female sculptor to achieve full international recognition in Britain — and the film subtly notes she still had to fight for studio space that male contemporaries took for granted.
