  • Maker's Monday // Rachel Entwistle⁠⠀ @rachelmaryentwistle⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Rachel is a potter, making tableware items, jugs, bowls and cups. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ She loves the whole process of making a pot, from a lump of clay to a finished jug; it can be very meditative and therapeutic. She enjoys creating rounded, almost belly-like forms., and is particularly drawn to rolling, natural lines of the landscapes and the curves of the human body. Her passion is for simplicity in line, colour and shape.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ She was first introduced to pottery whilst studying for a fine arts degree in New Zealand. More recently, she learnt with Roberto Gagliano in Brighton and fell in love with the process of shaping clay.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Her studio is based at Coachwerks, a community arts and events space in Hollingdean, Brighton, where she spends her time making, experimenting and honing her technique. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ She currently sells her pieces on Etsy and at Earthsea Wholefoods Shop in Coachwerks. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ She also runs evening workshops for those wishing to learn the art of clay, and takes commissions⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #MakersMonday #SolDesign #SolDesignCollective #Sol_DesignCollective #fromtheheartofbrighton #brightonart #brightonartists #brightongallery #brightonandhove #brightonartist #brighton #brightongallery #artlovers #artlife #artoninstagram #art #artist #contemporaryart #artgallery #brightonevents #makersgonnamake #artofbrighton #illustrator #brightonart #Brighton #rachelmaryentwistle #rachelmaryentwistleceramics #pottery #rachelmaryentwistleArtist ⁠#ceramics
  • In The Diary // Wild Painting ⁠ 16th - 17th November⁠ 10am - 5pm⁠ With @moyrascott⁠ ⁠ This is not just two days of painting. It is not simply the space and the time to paint. It is of course that, and quite frankly that is invaluable in itself. ⁠ ⁠ Wild Painting is a way of being with the canvas. It is a way of painting that is utterly transformative and liberating. It is a way of letting the paintings emerge that is utterly different from all other art classes you can find out there. This is about life. About living. About accessing your creative magic. ⁠ ⁠ It will call to you, or it won't. And if it does. Magic will happen. ⁠ ⁠ “More than a painting or creativity class, this weekend invites you to embrace and push through the ugliness, loss and fear that is an inevitable part of life into the full beauty, power and magic of being yourself. I find all the decisions I make at the canvas are reflected back to me in a positive way during the following months in all other aspects of my life. I find myself letting go of old habits and trying new things. I love the exquisite, healing, challenging and fun space Moyra creates. It’s like nothing I’ve experienced elsewhere which is why I keep coming back “⁠ ⁠ Held at the beautiful spacious Lawrence Art Studios - a teaching studio in Hove - a small group of likeminded creatives - a delicious vegan lunch to share (other dietary requirements catered for - just let me know) - two prices, both include the lunch and a beautiful sketch book - £444 includes canvases, brushes and paints £333 does not include canvases brushes and paints - I will send a kit list and you can bring your own. This allows for individuals to budget according to their wishes⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #Sol_DesignCollective #fromtheheartofbrighton #brightonart #brightonartists #brightongallery #brightonandhove #brightonartist #brighton #brightongallery #artlovers #artlife #artoninstagram #art #artist #contemporaryart #artgallery #brightonevents #makersgonnamake #artofbrighton #illustrator #brightonart #Brighton #charlestontrust #moyrascott #moyrascottartist #wildpainting ⁠#artclass ⁠

  • In The Diary // Lily Rigby: what the water gave me⁠ Wednesday 13th - Sunday 17th November⁠ 12:00 - 18:00⁠ At ONCA⁠ ⁠ @lily_rigby⁠ @onca_arts⁠ ⁠ “There is something about water that draws us to it; it has a sort of power that has a mysterious hold on us. It is impossible to control; it is forever flowing and can take any course.”⁠ ⁠ Lily began her paintings for this exhibition during her artist residency in Cornwall in April earlier this year. She stayed by the sea, where she would walk and paint everyday. Lily fell in love with the silver light on the sea. Since coming back to her studio in Brighton, Lily started researching the history of water and the symbolic meanings of its colours in painting.⁠ ⁠ Water is considered the universal symbol for change. It is tempestuous and forbidding. The colour green is calming and can make people stay a while in front of your work. And blue ‘has no dimensions. It is beyond dimensions’. Her new paintings have become places in their own right. Mysterious places inspired by the mesmerising power of water.⁠ ⁠ “I love how time disappears when I paint. I think my paintings come from the subconscious part of me, all of my experiences and emotions, all seem to come out and onto the canvas. I love how painting is so instant…the marks are there on the canvas before you can judge them or change them.” – Lily Rigby⁠ ⁠ ABOUT THE ARTIST⁠ ⁠ Lily is drawn to the land, the sea and the sky and uses them as starting points for all her work. Her paintings exist somewhere in the space between abstract and figurative. They are rendered with sensitivity and emotion, to produce pieces that are alive, vital and dramatic⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #ONCA #oncagallery #oncagalleryBrighton #fromtheheartofbrighton #brightonart #brightonartists #brightongallery #brightonart #brightonandhove #brightonartist #brighton⠀⁣⠀⁠⠀⁠ #artlovers #artlife #artoninstagram #art #artist⠀⁠⠀⁠ #contemporaryart #brightonevents #artclass #artworkshop #brightonworkshop #brightonartclass #visitbrighton #whatsonbrighton⁠ #lily_rigby #lilyrigby #lilyrigbyartist
