Harvest festival

We are embracing the turn of the season with this wonderful 4-colour riso Harvest Print by Printer Johnson. With its pumpkins, pears, apples and blackberries, it's giving proper Autumn vibes, and we are here for it!

Based in Norwich, Vicki Johnson is an illustrator with a background in printmaking and surface pattern design. She makes colourful works with a nostalgic feel inspired by flora, fauna, folk art and the everyday. If you're already missing the sunshine, we can recommend her Orange and Lemon print to conjur warmer days.

Don't forget - there's just one week left to visit WOOD!

We are entering the last week of our WOOD! exhibition here at ABtS, celebrating this most versatile of materials in its many creative forms.

Most playful among them are Will Mower's animal sculptures, like hiselephant above.

It's just one of the fabulous pieces in our latest show, which also features hand-hewn furniture, wood cuts, hand-turned toy trees, chopping boards, jewellery and much more besides.

Open this weekend and running until 10th November. Don't miss it!

Perfect for posting

As the gifting season is coming up fast, we thought we'd put together some suggestions for unique and thoughtful presents to send to your nearest and dearest - no matter how far away they may be!

We're starting with some easily postable gifts. The latest international posting dates are between the 3rd - 6th December - just a month away - so you'd best get packing your parcels.

The limitless creativity of Arthouse Unlimited

Our first recommendation is the beautifully giftable selection from Arthouse Unlimited - a charity that showcases the artistic talents and skills of adults who live with diverse learning and physical disabilities.

Always perfectly packaged in their vibrant designs, and with divine scents and delcious flavours, their selection of triple milled soaps, chocolate bars, and very cool tea towels would be a delight to receive at any time of the year. They are pretty affordable too, starting at £6.

Next up are Poems by Post from the clever people at Candlestick Press. We have three Christmas collections to choose from, and plenty more for people with all sorts of interests.

Need a gift for a chicken enthusiast? Check. Wild swimmer? Check. Avid cyclist, baker or crazy cat person? Check, check, check.

They are just some of the books we have in store here at ABtS. Shop the whole collection at our website.

Warm and fuzzy feeling

We have a growing selection of sumptuously soft knits here in the gallery. Hats, gloves, scarves, socks and homewares, in a range of wonderful styles and hues, they are the nearest thing to sending a hug in the post.

Choose from fisherman's rib from Jo Cranston, finest lambswool socks from ROVE, Fair Isle from Bakka, or skillfully woven woolens by Sarah Tyssen or Holly Berry.

We have new stock arriving all the time, so shop our knitwear and textiles online, or come visit the gallery to see (and feel!) them for yourself.

Baubles and bangles

If it's jewellery that you seek, we are proud to represent more than a dozen brilliant studio jewellers here at Atelier Beside the Sea - many of them based here in Brighton.

Crafted with precious metals and gemstones, futuristic 3D-printed plastic, folded leather, colourful resin, vibrant enamel, curios and found objects - from the understated everyday, to the seriously statement - we have pieces to suit every aesthetic.

Easy to gift wrap and pop in the post, shop our jewellery selection here.

Wonder walls

With hundreds of prints and artworks in the gallery, we are guaranteed to have the perfect piece for even the trickiest recipient.

With risographs starting from as little as £10, to seriously limited edition lost wood cuts by Roman Klonek, we have artworks to suit every taste and budget, from kids bedrooms to serious collectors. Shop our diverse range of prints here.

Seasons greetings (even for Grinches!)

We LOVE Christmas post. Sending and receiving cards in the post is maybe our favourite part of the festive season.

We have a gorgeous selection of Christmas cards, gift wrap and paper decorations from the likes of East End Press, Lisa Jones Studio (below), and Hadley Paper Goods, like the Christmas Houses concertina card at the top of the gift guide, and our favourite Christmas Krampus (above)!

Don't forget that we can post your gifts direct to your loved ones from the gallery, and we are happy to add a hand-written message in your choice of greetings card.

However long your list, we've got you covered here at Atelier Beside the Sea, with gifts that are made with care, sent with love, support artists and small businesses, and make a big difference.

By shopping small you'll spread the love even further this Christmas.

Come and see us in the gallery.
