June 8th, 2025.



'Tales, Traditions, and Curious Beasts’ is an exciting exhibition of work by a group of eleven skilled artists and makers, realised using a wide range of media including: painting, printmaking, ceramics, glass, jewellery, and sculpture.

Folklore is expressed not only through tales, myths, and legends related to the landscape itself, but also, amongst other things, through colloquial language, poetry, dance, music, rituals, celebrations, and even local building styles.

Using the rich and diverse folklore of Sussex as their inspiration, the artists have created a specific body of work for the show that references the mythology, social history, and the natural and built environment of our beautiful county. The artists exhibiting are: Jennifer Bisset (painting), Vicki Disney (painting), Keely Lawrence (ceramics), Lynda Lindfield (jewellery), Charlotte Matthews (printmaking), Anthony McIntosh (ceramics and glass), Roz Nathan (painting and sculpture), Alan Pearce (ceramics), Lindsey Pearson (mixed media), Kate Sayers (painting), and Julie Snowball (ceramics).

The show is open every day between 10.00am and 5.00pm and at least two of the artists will be on hand every day to chat about the work.
