Join us for Brighton’s, Artist open houses
Join us this May as we open our Brighton showroom doors for the first time.
This May, we will open our new studio and showroom in Fiveways, Brighton, as part of Brighton Artists Open Houses.
Across four weekends, the space will be open to visitors, bringing together our collections of fabrics, wallpapers and embroidery alongside a curated selection of Sussex-based artists and makers.
Our work has always been rooted in hand-drawn patterns, materials, and a decorative language shaped by process. Inviting other artists into the space feels like a natural extension of this, bringing together practices that share a similar attention to surface, form and making.
Visitors are invited to step inside the studio, explore the work and experience the space in person.
Planning Your Visit
We are located in the heart of Fiveways, a Brighton neighbourhood known for its independent shops, cafés and creative community. We encourage visitors to explore the area while visiting Artists Open Houses.

During the festival, we will be exhibiting work by a group of Sussex-based artists and makers, including:
Emma Harris
Introducing Emma Harris, an award-winning fine art photographer based in Brighton.
Emma’s photographic still-life studies are rooted in calm, seasonality and a deep connection to the natural world. Guided by shifting light and the quiet rhythm of the seasons, her work invites a slower gaze and a moment of pause, an antidote to the pace of everyday life.
Emma’s work will be exhibited throughout the showroom during the Artists Open Houses.

Jackie Fretten
Jackie’s practice draws from the objects, spaces and rituals of daily life. With a curious and playful eye, she explores colour, composition and surface, re-imagining the familiar through thoughtful mark-making and form.
Jackie’s work will be on display throughout the showroom for Artists Open Houses.
Kay Train
After a decade in the fashion industry, Kay followed her lifelong ambition to become an illustrator. Her work has featured in bestselling publications and national commissions, and she now expands her practice into hand-built ceramics — each piece individually formed and decorated in her Brighton studio.
Kay’s ceramics and illustration will be exhibited during the Artists Open Houses.

Silvia K Ceramics
Introducing Silvia K Ceramics.
Established in 2012, Silvia’s practice centres on terracotta tableware, combining bold and soft tones through glaze, colour and form. Inspired by her Slovakian heritage and traditional tin-glazed ware, her work reflects a refined contemporary approach to craft.
Silvia’s ceramics will be exhibited during the Artists Open Houses.
Alice Eden Jewellery.
Inspired by the Earth’s natural materials, Alice creates one-of-a-kind gemstone rings set in recycled sterling silver and gold. Each piece is shaped around the unique character of the stone, with a focus on simplicity, balance and material integrity.
Working from her Brighton studio, Alice’s practice centres on sustainability and craftsmanship, producing pieces that feel both refined and enduring.
Alice’s jewellery will be on display during Artists Open Houses.
Susana Garcia Ceramics
Working across porcelain and stoneware, Susana creates wheel-thrown forms that are later altered to explore shifts in structure, balance and surface. Each piece moves through a process of transformation, where functional vessels take on a more sculptural presence.
Her work draws on references from colour, pattern and architecture, particularly Brutalism and the industrial landscape, with these influences reflected in both form and finish.
