| Giles Penny at ABtS We are thrilled to have work by Giles Penny new to the gallery here at Atelier Beside the Sea. His sculptures focus on the expression of the human form, which he captures beautifully whether working on a miniature or monumental scale. His pieces often convey an innocent, humorous quality, such as in Flower Man - this charming copper-plated, steel and Jesmonite sculpture (26cm high) - which is on display at the gallery. Come and enjoy the whole collection. |

| Annabet Wyndham We've recently received some new pieces from the studio of Brighton-based jeweller Annabet Wyndham, and they are a delight. Created with partly enamelled silver elements, and strung with glass and semi-precious beads, these pieces of Annabet's reminds us of the sky reflecting on the surface of the sea. We've got a selection of her gorgeous earrings too. Discover them for yourself. |

| Boro on the beach Hiroko & Nigel Aono-Billson will be teaching their Boro Masterclass here in our classroom by the beach on Sunday the 16th June. Come and learn the Japanese art of patching and mending clothes and textiles using fragments or oddments of cloth. Be inspired by some of the extraordinary vintage pieces in Hiroko & Nigel's own collection, then apply the Sashiko stitching and patching techniques you've learned to create your own unique piece. Book your place now. |

| Needle Lace with Knots Also for those who are nifty with a needle, Argentinian textile artist Adriana Torres teaches the fascinating technique of Needle Lace with Knots here at ABtS on 11th June. Our first date sold out, so Adriana has generously agreed to offer a second class on the day following her creative mending class Play and Mend on 10th. Why not book to join both and save 10%? See all of our courses here. |

| The last hurrah of the Riso Show It's your last chance to catch the brilliant Riso Show before it comes down next Sunday 19th May. We have so enjoyed being surrounded by this riot of colour and learning about this cult printing technique from its avid fans and followers. But it must come down to make way for our next show, so come and enjoy one last hurrah. Coming next is a show that takes its inspiration from people who love paper and all its possibilities. Rob Ryan and his extraordinary paper cuts feature, alongside a host of other paper-based creatives. Watch this space. Rooster print by Printer Johnson |
