Unique gifts and creative courses at Atelier Beside the Sea. ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏
| BORO is back We are thrilled to be welcoming KOBO A-B aka Hiroko & Nigel Aono-Billson back to the beach on Sunday the 16th June to teach a Boro masterclass. Boro means mending and patching fabric in Japanese, and the term is now commonly used to describe all Japanese textiles which have been mended using fragments or oddments of cloth. Our Boro workshop begins with an introduction and a private view of some extraordinary pieces from the KOBO A-B BORO collection. Hiroko & Nigel will then teach you the basics of Sashiko stitching and the patching/construction process of creating your own BORO-inspired piece. These courses always sell out super fast, so BOOK NOW to avoid disappointment. |

| A nod to nature We've been talking a lot about print at ABtS lately, but we're also surrounded by the best in studio jewellery and ceramics, and new things are arriving every day. We have just received a new consignment from Catriona MacKenzie, who interprets her love of the woods and the sanctuary she finds there into beautiful, wearable jewellery. Come and discover our new stock of rings, earrings and necklaces, in gold, silver and oxidised finishes, and with and without stones. It's a real treasure trove. |

| MADE London back in Marylebone You make have seen on our socials that our MADE London venue in Islington has gone out of business. It's a tough time to be in business, and we are sad for them, but we are very pleased to say that MADE London is returning to its original home at One Marylebone this Autumn. It feels a long way off, but it will be here before you know it, and we are looking forward to bringing you a top notch show in this show stopping venue. MADE London returns to One Marylebone from 19th – 21st October 2024. Save the date! |

| The whole garden was dark and so still that it was as if all the plants and flowers were listening to us and waiting. This gorgeous garden by the talented Meghan Limbrick has just arrived in our Riso Show. Meghan is a multidisciplinary artist and designer who produces sculptural and narrative work based on her interest in symbolism, myth and the occult. It can be kept as a beautiful print or cut out and transformed into your very own night garden. Get yours now. |

| We sell sea shells on the sea shore We are excited to have a few of our exhibiting artists coming in to the gallery this Saturday from 3-5pm. Come and join us and find out all about this cool printing technique. Maybe grab a beer on the seafront afterwards?

Pink Crab and Sea Shells risograph prints both by Justine Floyd, and just £15 each. |
