The rise and rise of Rosehill

We are looking forward to hosting a special Creative Breakfast here at ABtS, next Monday 15th April.

Our informal meet up for makers and artists is a regular fixture and an opportunity to take a break from the studio, share your experience and knowledge, or just catch up over coffee and breakfast.

Next Monday's is a bit different in that it will be co-hosted by Penny Warren and Sarah Packington, who will give an illustrated talk about the Rosehill Workshops.

Established in 1994, this vibrant co-operative of artists and makers is celebrating 30 years at the heart of Brighton's creative community. Situated just off Rosehill (by The Level), and currently host to 13 people working in jewellery, ceramics and other mediums, Rosehill Studios are one of the longest running creative hubs in the city.

Come and find out about their story, and share your own, while you enjoy a delicious continental breakfast.

9-11am Monday 15th April. Book your ticket now.

Do knot delay, book today

We are so excited to be hosting two workshops with the acclaimed textile artist Adriana Torres this June, and it seems you are too!

There are only two spots left on her Needlelace with Knots course, so don't hang about if you have some embroidery experience and would like to learn this fascinating craft tradition for yourself. Book your place now.

Absolute beginners can also benefit from Adriana's wealth of experience, as she teaches her playful approach to sustainable textiles with some wonderfully illustrative stitches to brighten up your visible mending. Suitable for all levels, why not book on to Play and Mend and enjoy a creative day with friends and family? Sign up today.

We are adding new courses to our calendar all the time. Drop us a line if you have an idea for a class that you'd like to join, or one that you'd like to teach.

RISO Restocked

To say that The Riso Show is proving popular would be a massive understatement. Eye-popping with candy colours and surpisingly affordable, we are struggling to keep the gallery walls filled.

So, we are super grateful to our artists who have been sending top-ups as the show continues.

Some of the most popular prints are shown here, but there is a Riso print for everyone, we are sure of that. Come find your perfect match (before it sells out. Again.).

The show continues until 19th May.

Join the gang! Become a part of The Atelier Art Club.

The countdown is ON! The Atelier Art Club returns to Brighton Beach on the 23rd April!

Why not come and brush up on your painting skills, learn drypoint etching, or develop a whole new drawing practice alongside our experienced tutors?

We've got modules in drawing, painting and printing, and flexible booking for each, so you can dip your toe in and book session by session, or take the plunge and book the whole course (saving you up to 30%).

What are you waiting for? Roll up your sleeves and let the creative juices flow!

Shop!

We are loving these greetings cards from The Printed Peanut that have just arrived in the shop.

We've long admired their work, and are enjoying having their prints in The Riso Show, but we hope to have these in our permanent rotation of gorgeous greetings cards for a long time to come. But which shop would you like to visit?

We notice that there's no gallery in the line up, but luckily you can come and see us in ours! We are now open our summer hours, 11am-5pm seven days a week. See you soon!
