A fab feast

If you've been to see the Riso Show, you might have noticed a whole lot of sweet treats among the artists' subjects. It must be something about the lip smacking saturated colours.

There are just three weeks left to visit the exhibition, with dozens of works to see and fresh top ups arriving all the time. Don't miss your chance to feast your eyes on this tutti-frutti technicolour show.

Needlelace with Knots - new date added.

Our first date for this Needlelace with Knots course sold out pretty quickly, so - as it might be a while until tutor Adriana Torres visits from Argentina again - we asked if she would add a second date.

Luckily she said yes, so - if you missed out first time around - book your place now for Tuesday 11th June, and explore this fascinating technique for creating three-dimensional illustrative textiles.

Once you've picked up the stitches, the possibilities are endless!

BORO is back

We are thrilled to be welcoming KOBO A-B aka Hiroko & Nigel Aono-Billson back to the beach on Sunday the 16th June to teach a Boro masterclass.

Boro means mending and patching fabric in Japanese, and the term is now commonly used to describe all Japanese textiles which have been mended using fragments or oddments of cloth.

The workshop begins with an introduction and a private view of some extraordinary pieces from Hiroko and Nigel's own Boro collection. The pair will then teach you the basics of Sashiko stitching and the patching/construction process of creating your own Boro-inspired piece.

These courses always sell out super fast, so BOOK NOW to avoid disappointment.

Atelier Art Club

The Atelier Art Club is open once again.

Jump into week two of the Drawing module on Tuesday evening, then drop in and out as the programme takes you.

Painting, printing, colour mixing, drypoint etching, and loads more besides, what are you going to have a go at?

Visit the Art Club page on our website and take your pick! Come get creative on the beach!

What's on the cards?

Whatever your reason to send a card, and even better if there's no particular reason at all, we've got you covered.

These two - a palm reader's map, and a stand-up mushroom from the brilliant Hadley - would be lovely to receive any day of the week.

Just two delightful designs from a great many more that we have in the shop. Come and restock your supply.

We are here 11am - 5pm seven days a week, right between the piers.
