Incurva/ Work Ship Open Studios during Coastal Currents

2010-06-18T06:53:00.000-07:00

There have been some changes at the studio since last year. Jennifer Kidd and Steve Burgess have moved on to pastures new in London, where Jen is based at Cockpit Arts, and Steve is doing an MA in Graphic Design at LCC, and Celestine Froude has moved out from downstairs.

Upstairs, to replace Jen we have Ashley Heminway, who creates small collections and one off pieces of jewellery using silver with enamelled imagery; and downstairs is Mel Brewer who produces urban imagery inspired by Hastings, using found materials to create hand crafted items; and Michelle Garnett, of i-Candy.

All eight artists will be showing during Coastal Currents, plus illustrator Ed Boxall, ceramist Wendy Jung, and Celestine Froude will be re-joining us to show illustration/ lingerie.

Images of new work to come soon.
