Bex Walker (Throw to Fire)

Ceramics

I am a ceramist working under the name Throw to Fire and make small-batch, functional ceramics, blending contemporary aesthetics with an architectural edge. My work is characterised by the use of stained clay to create a soft colour palette of greys, pinks, mauves and greens. All of my pieces are hand-thrown from my garden studio in Brighton.

Suzi Lowe

Acrylic and Mixed Media

By enjoying experimental marks, delighting in colour and letting the qualities of her materials lead her onward Suzi has developed her own impressionistic style with a hint of abstraction. Using rags, her hands and a variety of different tools she hand makes, Suzi explores capturing delicacy and an essence of strong-fragility through layering of translucent glazes, immediate marks & carving out negative space. She strives to make her work joyous, authentic and evocative.

Kasia Hamilton

textiles/fibre

Kasia Hamilton is a textile artist, educator, and designer based in East Sussex. With a background in interior design and as a lecturer at University of the Arts London, her interdisciplinary practice combines contemporary textile art with traditional craft techniques. Working with natural and reclaimed fibres, she creates wall pieces, quilts, rugs, and soft sculptural objects that explore landscape, memory, materiality, and transformation.

Gedi Campbell

Acrylic, Oil Stick, Pencil

I am a British-Palestinian emerging abstract artist based in Cross in Hand, East Sussex. After graduating from Central Saint Martins with an MA in Communication Design, I spent thirty years working as a graphic designer. Recently, I’ve returned to my first love: painting.

In my practice recently, I’m interested in the physical nature of paint and how it moves. By using deep-edge canvases, I treat the painting as a three-dimensional object rather than just a flat image. I often turn the canvas while I work, allowing gravity to pull the paint in different directions.

patrick Letschka

I use highly coloured wooden veneers to make traditional maquetery panels, inspired by my love of ancient English woodlands.

Tim Minter

Mixed Media Electronic Sculpture

I create kinetic and light based sculpture oten based on data but sometimes just to create joyful engaging pieces. From room scale interactive installation to limited edition items for sale. Currently exhibiting at 22 Harrington Rd open house in Brighton. Also exhibited at the judged open call at Fabrica recently organised by Sussex Contemporary.
