EASTER AT ATELIER BESIDE THE SEA

The sun’s been shining, the seafront is buzzing, and it’s starting to feel like proper spring here in Brighton. We’ve had a wonderful stream of visitors popping into the gallery to catch THE RISO SHOW 2, and our shop is filling up with bright, beautiful things to welcome the new season.

EASTER EGG TREASURE HUNT

If you're visiting THE RISO SHOW 2 this weekend, don’t miss our Easter Egg Treasure Hunt — a playful search through the prints to spot hidden objects. Some are very well disguised, so bring your best eagle eyes. It’s open to all ages, and yes — there are real Easter eggs to win!

SPRING IN THE SHOP

We’re stocked up with springtime treasures to lift your mood and your home:

Garlands by East End Press – bright, joyful, and reusable year after year

Porcelain 'Sugar Almond' coloured cups by Aeyglom

Sculpture inspired Jewellery by Annabet Wyndham

MARMADUKE is BACK

Sarah Young has reprinted Marmaduke the Cat Tea Towel/Cloth Kit in a fresh new colourway.

To celebrate the return of this charming design, we’re giving away ‘Morris’ the cat – a free lino print – to the first 50 customers who place an order!

About Marmaduke:

Marmaduke is one of 12 delightful designs by Sarah Young. Printed in silkscreen on 100% cotton, this versatile piece can be used as a tea towel or, by following the simple printed instructions, transformed into a bright and playful stuffed toy or cushion – perfect for children or the young at heart.

RISO SHOW 2

Our latest exhibition has been buzzing this past week, with visitors loving—and buying—these engaging, affordable prints.

WHAT IS A RISO PRINT?

Risograph printing is a unique, eco-friendly printmaking technique that
blends digital creation with an analogue charm. It uses soy based inks and stencil duplication to create vibrant layered prints with a distinctive texture. Artists love it for its affordability, speed, and
bold aesthetic. Risograph is ideal for artists seeking an expressive, high quality and sustainable medium.

THIS FRIDAY

Drawing from the Senses

With Katie Sollohub

25th April | 10am–4pm

As summer nears, join us by the sea for a day of sensory drawing guided by artist Katie Sollohub. Through mindful meditation and gentle movement, you’ll be encouraged to draw not just with your eyes, but with your ears, skin, breath — even memory.

We’ll walk the beach, drawing in response to sound, scent, touch, and place — sometimes with our eyes shut. Back in the studio, we’ll explore how sensations linger and translate into expressive, abstract marks.

No experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to let go of expectations.

Open to all levels.

A meditative, experimental workshop for tuning in and drawing out.
