In like a lion, out like a lamb

In like a lion, out like a lamb

How is it that we're on the threshold of March already? In like a lion, out like a lamb, so the saying goes, with the month starting in winter and ending in spring.

Don't get caught out by the roar of those inevitable cold blasts. Wrap yourself in gorgeous knits from our artisanal makers, including local designer Jo Cranston.

Fabricated in the UK with sustainability at the forefront, Jo's knits are made in the finest yarns and the most vibrant spring hues.

Stuff your hands deep in your pockets, pull your scarf tight around your neck, and turn your face to the sun.

The Atelier Art Club is on its way back (and it's better than ever)

The new and improved Atelier Art Club is back from the 23rd April. Our experienced tutors Denise Harrison and Patrick O'Donnell have put together drawing, painting and printing modules designed to give you a deep dive into each medium, to flex your skills and to stretch your imagination.

Sign up for the whole course, or dip into separate classes if you prefer.

Visit the MAKE section of our website for all the details on this and all of our courses, and sign up to join our alternative art school down here in the historic fishing arches on Brighton beach. All ages and abilities are welcome.

If you've got an idea for a class you'd like to teach in our beachfront classroom, drop us a line. We're always open to talking through new ideas.

Everyday extraordinary

Using hand-made ceramics on the daily enriches every mealtime, so while you're spring cleaning your cupboards, consider upgrading your tableware to something really special.

The pieces in this glorious Petal range by Brighton maker Silvia K are as much a pleasure to use as they are to look at, and come in a sophisticated palette of glazes to mix or to match.

Invest in the every day and suddenly even tea & toast becomes an occasion. Start your collection today. You're worth it.

Last call for Mini Made

The deadline for applying for the first few Mini Made makers fairs is 29th February. Get in touch by the end of the week if you'd like to be involved.

Rise & Shine with our Creative Breakfasts

We are looking forward to welcoming you to our next Creative Breakfast in March.

It can be a lonely life toiling away as a self-employed creative. Come and join us for this informal and friendly network. It's a chance to meet with fellow creatives and share advice and support. Book for March here.

At our April breakfast, we'll be joined by makers from the Rosehill Studios, who will tell us how the studios came to be set up, how they are run, and a bit about each maker. Book for April here.

If you'd like to co-host a future Creative Breakfast, let us know. We love a creative collaboration.

Wishing you a very pleasant Sunday. We'll be open 11am - 5pm today if you fancy a trip to Brighton Seafront. Come say hi and enjoy all the beautiful things!

Enjoy the week, whatever it brings.
