This fabulous gallery, run by contemporary artists, with great cafes nearby, is the perfect spot for a relaxing morning of printmaking. Mornings 10.30pm – 1pm, £35 with all materials included.

Christmas Workshops with the “Space to Create” team
At Christmas I join forces with 3 other local artists and teachers; Sarah Duffield, Polly Finch and Hattie Lockhart-Smith. Our Christmas Workshops are fast becoming an annual tradition and something we look forward to every year!
You can expect a fun, colourful, winter themed day with the Space to Create team. Enjoy some time out and explore new creative techniques.
Bring along a friend, your mum, sibling and spend time together Painting, Stamping, Cutting and Printing your own wintertime during this “Try it Out” day. Tickets are £65 which includes all materials plus mince pies and mulled wine!
“An immersive creative experience that was a complete joy. I came away not only having had a wonderful day with good conversation and lots of fun, but with a wealth of my own creations ready for Christmas! Thank you so much.”
Large Group Options
I can run workshops for up to 15 people, and am happy to travel within Sussex to join groups at their regular meeting place. Prices range from £150 – £250 depending on the size of the group and length of the session.
