ArtSpring by the sea
ArtSpring artists have been visiting the Kent and Sussex coast for inspiration.

Nick Hebditch, East Cliffs Hastings
During autumn 2022 we had an opportunity to exhibit in Whitstable at the Horsebridge Arts Centre and this provoked a flurry of beachside trips to soak in the stretch of coastline from the moody beauty of Faversham Creek round to the coastal luxuriance of Camber Sands.
Antonia Enthoven, Stand Aside II
It wasn’t just painters and printmakers who were affected by the atmosphere – our glass artists, ceramicists and jewellers too were absorbed by waves and coastal splashes.

Jane Bridger, Fishy Vessel
Anne McArdle, Blue Wave earrings
There is nothing finer than a solitary day focussing on colour, light and movement, especially if you are en plein air with just the sun and wind for company. What better way to 'get lost'? All sense of time disappears in a flurry of activity.
Katie Whitbread, Across The Grasses
Sarah Weatherall, Mermaid necklace
It is especially rewarding when this work is picked out by a grateful customer who wants a little bit of our coastline to take home to remind them of a special day.
Colin Anderson, Sheerness Tower
Gillian Smith, You Are What You Eat
