Vitamin Sea for the Blue Monday blues Tomorrow is the third Monday of January, aka Blue Monday, and apparently the most depressing day of the year. So, we're here to help. It's a well proven fact that the arts boost our wellbeing, as does being by the sea, so come down and get a double dose at our gallery on Brighton beach. There is our current FOLK exhibition to enjoy, and we have a huge selection of prints, ceramics, textiles, jewellery, sculpture - all made by talented UK makers - and more to lift your mood. Plus we have a sea view as wide as they come. Here are just a few of the mood-boosting blues we have for you in the gallery at the moment. Translucent B-shaped blue earrings in teal and blue resin with silver loops by Lewes maker Kathie Murphy. Blue, blue City blue large porcelain coffee cup by Shoreham-based Aeyglom ceramics. Cally Conway's celestial two colour linocut print The Three Comments in Dark Blue on Light Blue. A denim blue Fisherman's Rib Scarf crafted in the Sussex workshop of Jo Cranston to chase off the chill. Or take our seaview home with you with Into the Blue by Brighton printmaker Janet Brooke, known for capturing our iconic Brighton landscapes. Guaranteed to brighten any outfit is this Translucent Teal and Blue Statement Necklace by Atelier Tomassi. A splendid confection of resin 'gems', navy tassels, and blue grosgrain ribbon, complete with a lobster clasp. Finally, for this line up, but just the tip pf the iceberg in the gallery, imagine yourself swept away into warmer waters with Cast Adrift in the Blue a three plate lino cut by Kit Boyd. Come spend your Blue Monday with us. We're open 11am - 5pm, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. |
