Artists in Fairlight are opening their studios to the public as part of the Coastal Current Arts Festival this weekend.
This is a fantastic opportunity to step into the studios of local artists to discover the arts and crafts of the area and includes work in many mediums: ceramics, printmaking, painting, textiles, digital art and sculpture. Visitors can explore studio spaces, talk to artists and see them at work, whilst exploring the beautiful scenery and views in Hastings Country Park Nature Reserve and along the cliff.
Printmaker Annie Soudain is at the top of the village in Coastguard Cottages, with a scenic walk across the Firehills to arrive at the home of painter Anna Wilson-Patterson. A short bus or cycle trip away in Pett Level is painter and sculptor Tim Riddihough.
There is a free 81 page brochure and online guide listing all the artists included https://www.coastalcurrents.org.uk
Studios open on Saturday, August 31st and Sunday, September 1st from 11am – 5pm with free entry.
For refreshments, Fairlight has the contemporary Bale House Visitor Centre and the traditional Coastguard Café, plus at the heart of the village the Cove, with a sunny coastal garden. Down at the beach at Pett Level is Eater’s.
