PROUD TO SUPPORT FIVEWAYS ARTISTS OPEN HOUSES. COME AND SEE US ON THE FIVEWAYS ARTISTS OPEN HOUSE TRAIL TO SEE ARTWORK FROM HUMMINGBIRD STUDIOS.
LETTER FROM THE CHAIR WELCOME TO FIVEWAYS 2018! 37 years and still going strong! 24 houses are opening, with three venues new to Fiveways. Jehane Boden Spiers is new to us, but for years opened The Yellow House in Kemptown, so she’s well-known in the Brighton art world. Her new venue is Jehane’s Open House, at 89 Waldegrave Road. Hiroko Lewis is now opening her own house, after several years of showing with Agnes Chevalier (now departed for new opportunities in St Leonards). Hiroko is at One-SixNine, 169 Preston Drove. Mary Middleton has now brought the fabulous Garden House to Fiveways, with a show of her own work within its amazing garden, a Brighton fixture which opens in the National Garden Scheme and, in the past, the muchlamented Garden Gadabout.
This year, not one but two brilliant pubs are supporting us and showing art; The Cleveland (see facing page) is now a generous sponsor, and The Open House both sponsors us and shows Fiveways artists’ work. Thanks goes to all our sponsors for ensuring that this magazine continues its success. Their help both financially and in terms of publicity is much appreciated. This year, we should thank Paul Lewis, husband of Hiroko, for taking over production of the magazine. Thanks also to Jude Clynick and team, who have masterminded the allimportant task of getting sponsorship. And further thanks to Dan Mackey and Adam Johnson who ably produced the magazine last year. Spring is coming (we are assured!), and we hope to see you in May visiting all the brilliant venues in Fiveways!
And, after a few years in India, we welcome back Rod Clark, opening Avant Garden Post-Futurist Pop on Springfield Road. Here at Cornwall Gardens, we are taking another break as work continues on our house. As ever, we welcome the two schools that are part of Fiveways, Varndean and Dorothy Stringer. They’re open on just one day but should definitely be visited. The variety and strength of the students’ work has to be seen.

ABOUT THE FIVEWAYS GROUP “OPEN HOUSE PIONEERS” FIVEWAYS ARTISTS GROUP Fiveways is a locality in Brighton, high up on a hill above the city, and centred around the intersection of Preston Drove and Ditchling Road. It is an area renowned for the number of artist residents living and working closely together. In May, as part of the Brighton Festival, and also at Christmas, we open our houses as galleries to show curated exhibitions of our own and others’ work. But Fiveways Artists Group is more than open houses; it is a mutually supportive group of professional artists who work all year round. A diverse group, it includes ceramicists, photographers, illustrators, textile artists, makers, and painters representing all strands of creative practice. To find out more about our work—and perhaps commission an artist—do explore the profile pages and follow us on Twitter. If you are an artist living in Fiveways and the surrounding area, we welcome new members including Associate Members who are practising artists but who may not be opening their house during the Brighton Festival.

OUR HISTORY The Fiveways Artists Group has a rich and interesting history. It was set up in 1981 by artist Ned Hoskins. He pioneered the idea of opening houses as galleries during the Brighton Festival. Now, more than thirty five years later, that idea has grown from a handful of venues to the current Artists Open House Festival spreading throughout Brighton, Hove, and beyond. If you are an artist and would like to join the group and have your own Open House, please look at our website for more information, www.fivewaysartists.co.uk, or contact Secretary, Eva Wibberley, on evawibberley@googlemail. com

NEW HOUSES HOUSE 1: THE GARDEN HOUSE (See page 9 for details.)
Her work has been shown at venues including the ING Discerning Eye at the Mall Galleries in London, the Kimberly-Clark corporate HQ, and many AOH festivals.
HOUSE 2: AVANT GARDEN POST-FUTURIST POP RODERICK CLARK Life is patterned by circularity. After 5 years of holidaying from the travails of Open House, I return, with dusty suitcases, to begin again. Lotta Continua.
I also return with a new series of paintings made in Dorset over the past three years, and not previously exhibited. There are new formats, such as the multiple-canvas pieces and some large-scale works. The new pieces continue my preoccupations with colour, geometry, and precision and are increasingly formal in tone while still maximising their decorative attraction. There are also objects and even some ceramics—lets see! Pop still tugs the strings though, and this year’s collection of artists reflects this. There are numerous collaborative pieces on show where we have shared painting duties. So, having gathered my artists and girded my loins, I am looking forward to meeting the lovely people of Brighton—and Beyond. The sun may even shine! HOUSE 8: ONE-SIX-NINE
HIROKO LEWIS After graduating with a degree in Fine Art from Kanazawa College of Art, Hiroko Lewis pursued a career as artist, porcelain pattern designer, and illustrator in Japan, exhibiting widely including at the prestigious National Art Centre in Tokyo. Since moving to Brighton in 2011, she has expanded her repertoire to include metal leaf and patination, fascinated by the glow of haku metal materials and patination, which add extra dimensions and colours, allowing a degree of expression that normal paints cannot achieve. She uses these chemical reactions to create patinas which are then integrated with oil paint and other traditional media to form a collaboration between unrestrained nature and control. 7
Resonance (above), a major commission in oil, metal leaf, and patination for law firm Cripps LLC, was completed in February 2017. Comprising ten panels, and measuring 1.5m x 5m, it fills the lobby at their Tunbridge Wells offices. HOUSE 10: JEHANE’S OPEN HOUSE
JEHANE BODEN SPIERS Born & bred in Brighton, Jehane studied Textile Design at Winchester School of Art in the early 1990s. Her medium is paper & fabric collage often incorporating embroidery. With over 25 years in the creative industries, her designs have been used worldwide for a wide range of products including textiles, gift-wrap, and greeting cards, published by Sanderson Fabrics, Gallery Five, Stewo, Boots plc, and The Paper House Group. Other clients include Liberty, English Heritage, the RSC, and Vienna & Sydney Opera Houses. Jehane has over 15 years’ experience as an agent and is founder of artists agency JEHANE Ltd. She has licensed art by contemporary artists including Cressida Bell, Paul Thurlby, and Ken Eardley. Jehane also offers one-toone consultancy and portfolio reviews to emerging and established artists. Jehane is thrilled to be re-opening her house after a five year break.

GARDENS OPEN Many Open Houses also feature a garden which may contain anything from art to refreshments. See individual listings for details, but below are a couple of highlights! HOUSE 1: THE GARDEN HOUSE Tucked away behind number 5 Warleigh Rd, just north of The Level, nestles a garden arguably one of the seven wonders of the Brighton world! Back in the 1880s, this wedge of land between Warleigh and Shaftesbury Roads was a thriving market garden, producing food and flowers for the local people. Decline and dereliction gradually set in, and the garden was in a sorry state when Bridgette and Graham moved in 17 years ago. Bridgette, a horticulture lecturer and garden designer Deborah, practise what they preach in the careful planning and development of this now remarkable space. As well as year-round horticultural interest, with brilliant planting, a greenhouse, vegetable plot, fruit, and rose arches, The Garden House provides a learning space for creative and inspirational courses and events (gardenhousebrighton.co.uk).
the looming Viaduct (look out for my prints of it) and now simplified but with added contrasts. During May, it is the site for games actual and metaphysical. Maul-Topiary Croquet and Dazzle Ping-Pong are the preferred ball games, but the space also allows meditations on the organic and the constructed, plus the tea and cake, and in early evenings, Sauron’s Hop-On/Hop-Off Hot Coals Experience is fired up. And of course, it leads to the shed studio wherein my fabulous daughter displays her unique perspective on the art of the knitted. The only way out is through. HOUSE 5: 11 RUGBY ROAD Discover garden sculpture, plants for sale, and a pop-up cafe to sit and relax for a while. Plus pick-your-own ceramic mushrooms in the front garden. HOUSE 22: EVA WIBBERLEY & FRIENDS The garden will be open with sculpture to admire, plus tea, coffee, and homemade cakes (always at least one guten-free option).
PRESTON DROVE
OSTEOPATHS Treatment for a wide range of conditions including:
Back pain | Neck pain | Sciatica | Hip & Knee pain Frozen shoulder | Arthritic pain | Neuralgia Migraine prevention | Tension headaches
Every year, The Garden House has welcomed the public for open days, raising tens of thousands for various charities. Above all, it is a peaceful and therapeutic oasis in the midst of a bustling city, and we look forward to welcoming visitors to a spectacular array of arts, crafts, and makers over the four weekends of the Brighton Festival. HOUSE 2: AVANT GARDEN POST-FUTURIST POP A garden is a box of delights comprised of the real, growing, material and the forms used to contextualise and contain them. My back garden, ordinary in almost every respect, has been effectively reformatted in 2018. Think Teletubbies Go To Mordor for the Alternative Olympics! Judiciously planted some years ago, it is a sunny spot almost under 9

THE GARDEN HOUSE
MARY MIDDLETON 5 WARLEIGH ROAD, BRIGHTON BN1 4NT gardenhousebrighton.co.uk This May, we are hosting our first Artists’ Open House with the Fiveways Artists Group. The Garden House is well known as a special place of energy and inspiration, and the garden provides a perfect backdrop for the great variety of work which will be on offer. There will be something for everyone to enjoy; a plethora of talented artists showing impressive work, a beautiful setting in one of the best loved and well-known private gardens in Brighton, a warm welcome, and delicious alfresco lunches and teas from The Garden House Cafe! What’s not to like? Outside we have Annie Mc Mullen’s glass sculptures, interacting with light to create wonderful colours and refractions. Lorraine Philpot is an artist blacksmith based in Firle, and she will be showing her mild-steel plant supports and forged garden structures. Also on show in the garden will be sculptural woven willow work by Katrina Miller, Jo Brooks’ monumental ceramic heads, handbuilt clay stoneware birdbaths by Deb John, Kath Rowland’s beautiful decorated pots, and magnificent mosaic stepping stones by Sue Samways.
Ann Sheeran and Julia Fiettkau use succulents to create must have Fat Plant decorations. Under cover will be Paula Clark’s macrame pot holders for indoor plants, beautiful textiles made by the talented Mandy Murray, and Ian Swain’s rescued and renovated vintage tools. Inside the garden room, Garden House artist in residence Mary Middleton will be showing her watercolours, cards, and prints of the garden. Jane Browne jewellike landscape-inspired tapestries will also be on show. For the second weekend only (12/13 May), we are very lucky to have Alison Varley, a renowned jeweller and silversmith. Our jeweller for the other three weekends will be the very talented Fi Black. In addition, Suz Snow will be showing her gorgeous paper cuts. OPENING DAYS Open for all four weekends in May SPECIAL NOTE Please note that there are uneven and possibly slippery surfaces, and the garden is unsuitable for wheelchair users. No dogs please (except guide dogs).

AVANT GARDEN POST-FUTURIST POP RODERICK CLARK 12A SPRINGFIELD ROAD, BRIGHTON BN1 6DA rodclark.org
A dizzying spiralling vortex of creativity by some of Brighton’s finest meta-pop stylists, spilling over with eye-popping visuals and mixing the hand-made with the digital. The avant garden will further explore our theme of the play of fun between the real and the virtual and amplify the Funky(toy)-town ambience. Beverages and bouffables can be conjured up while Dazzle Ping-Pong and other games can be found. Rod and his assembled guests lead you through a panoply of techniques and creative visions; from geometric utopias in plasticity, outrageous expanses of bravura penwork, mystery layers of science magic in striking juxtapositions, ironic spraycan bewitchments on objets trouvés, striking liquid colour in the softest of materials— cotton—and glittering soul coaxed from the hardest—stone.
Running through the show is a daring colour understanding and strivings for ultimate control over form. Prepare for psychosocial impact and be swept from one arresting piece to the next, and we hope all visitors will enjoy the (free) love (and final wisdom) shown in its making. Please leave quietly Open House Open Mind Open one’s Kimono.

EMILY BEAUMONT 44 FLORENCE ROAD, BRIGHTON BN1 6DJ emilybooupholstery.co.uk After a year’s break, we are excited to be open again with a house full of incredibly talented artists, makers, and jewellers. Shortlisted for Best Open House in our first year, we are keen to welcome you back to our bright, open space, to meet the artists and enjoy a delicious cream tea in the garden with the odd ice pop or two. As well as my wonderful returning artists, I’m also delighted to welcome for the first time Shirley Trevena RI, who many of you will know personally or by reputation. She has been involved in the open house for many years and once again will be exhibiting her exquisite watercolours; also Jenny Staff who brings her delicate drawings and sculptures, which investigate her visceral need to be outside; Gilly Jakeway, a mixed media artist who is currently exploring the art of lino cuts and producing gorgeous 50s inspired prints, and last but not least the very wonderful Frances Bloomfield and her fascinating 3D dreamscapes which are guaranteed to transport you to another world. Of course amongst the exquisite jewellery, ceramics, screenprints, glass, textiles, and paintings, there will be chairs—with stories of their own, fully reupholstered and ready for a new life. Nicki and I have had a busy year so are delighted to be able, once again, to create our own designs using vintage frames that we love with a few of the many wonderful fabrics available. This is our small way of protecting the environment
by keeping these chairs out of landfill as well as preserving the wonderful craft of upholstery. We really look forward to welcoming you and know you will find something beautiful to take with you that can be enjoyed again and again.

47 SOUTHDOWN AVENUE, BRIGHTON BN1 6EH Steve: signature-art.co.uk Jane: lampost13.co.uk STEVE JORDAN Brighton born, I have lived in the city all my life. I studied Art in the 1970s but dropped out of college after just a few weeks. Following an illustrious career as a dustman, I changed direction after several years for a science-based career, specialising in craft paints and ink formulations... Fluid Dynamist in Industrial Rheology (don’t ask me what that is!). My paintings are sometimes amusing or irreverent. I have an on-going fascination for a certain 1960s block of flats.
JANE JORDAN—LAMPOST 13 My work is represented by abandoned or neglected wooden furniture rescued from charity shops & car boots... on occasion, I might also be the mad woman seen delving around in skips. With the emphasis on regeneration, each item of furniture has been given a new lease of life in the hope that it will once more find a place in someone’s home. Always colourful and most certainly individual, you can be sure that each piece is one of a kind. OPENING DAYS Open for all four weekends in May

ONE-SIX-NINE
HIROKO LEWIS 169 PRESTON DROVE, BRIGHTON BN1 6FN onesixnine.co.uk Already familiar to many after appearing in a number of Open Houses over the last few years, Hiroko Lewis is opening her own house, One-Six-Nine, for the first time this year, and is delighted to present this diverse group of imaginative artists working in fine art and crafts. Hiroko’s own work is semi-abstract mindscapes created using haku metal leaf, patination, and oil paint. GUEST ARTISTS Heinz Michael Kalkbrenner: Digital art HMK explores limits and possibilities of different materials and procedures by combining analogue and digital art production methods. Annabel Wyatt: Monoprint Annabel’s work combines mono-printed forms, textured paint, and painted line, and expresses reflections of entitlement, power, and exclusion she has experienced as both a woman and a person from a “working class” background. John Gilbert: Studio ceramics John produces decorative pieces largely in porcelain and stoneware, often employing Japanese Raku glazing with its resultant random and dramatic effects. Jan Barger: Illustration Jan loves putting imagination and colour onto paper, making the intangible tangible, giving visual form to words and mental images, allowing colours to sparkle and glow, and give life to the page.
Julia White: Etching, print, digital art Julia’s work is etched onto zinc plate and inked by hand, with a gold leaf finish. She uses vegetable-based inks where possible and is experimenting with dyes made from the plants and land of the Sussex Downs. Kate Orton: Jewellery, glass Kate has always been fascinated by colour, light, and natural structures. She seeks the simplicity of plant forms in her jewellery, using the innate beauty of the glass to produce elemental, wearable gems. Lauren Hayes: Paper art Fascinated by the repetitive shapes and patterns that occur in nature, Lauren cuts and folds simple paper components to build visually complex forms. More of her work can be seen at 358 Ditchling Road. June Frickleton: Painting June creates sumptuous paintings with strong visual impact heightened by the use of a reduced palette, created over time using a mixture of brush marks and thinned-down oil paint washes, built up in layers until the desired image emerges. PkSy Art: Photography Photographers Patrick Dalla Torre and Sandy Moni Bidin are inspired by quantum physics; their work invites the public to wonder about this intriguing topic.

‘WOW!’ THEY SAID
FRANCES DOHERTY 31 HAVELOCK ROAD, BRIGHTON BN1 6GL francesdoherty.co.uk This year we have another exciting mix of work and artists and, because it was so popular last year, a front garden sculpture trail from the bottom of Havelock Road up to the house, featuring work by Frances Doherty and collaborative work with Alan Williams. Frances has been working on a new collection called Of Land and Sea which features sea anemones and proteas. Inspired by The Blue Planet, she has been using a new colour palette and is looking forward to seeing what you think of it. Jane Denman has been exhibiting with Frances for 20 years, and they will be having two other pop-up galleries in Brighton this year, in July and September at Gallery 40. She always designs a large painting each year to go on the red walls of this house and will have a lot of new work to show. Alan Williams is a metal artist and sculptor creating fantastical beasts from found and reclaimed metal. His work reflects a deep observation of the natural world, capturing life and character within each piece he creates. He has made several public art projects in the UK and overseas, and his artworks are exhibited and sold internationally.
collections, and pieces set with sumptuous kimono and sari fabrics. Royston Matthews’ work is inspired by the Dutch still-life painters of the 17th Century, and his images explore the concept of vanitas, using symbolism through subject choice to express the transience of life. In order to create a painterly look to the photographs, he uses the light-painting technique. This involves applying the light to the subject using handheld light sources, such as small torches and light panels. This allows precise control of where the light falls on the subject, enabling a unique look not achievable using conventional lighting. Charlie High is back this year with a new collection of work using unpolished semiprecious stones and oxidised silver. The themes of her work are based on the botanicals which complement the feel of this house. OPENING DAYS Open for all four weekends in May
Inspired by nature and far-flung shores, Andrea Eserin creates beautifully delicate jewellery—stacking rings in silver and rose gold, stunning earring and necklace 34

Barbara Collins uses iridescent glazes for flowers swaying, and Annie Mc Mullan’s dichroic glass glows in the sun and shade. Chris Brooks’s metalwork incorporates glass and water and Keith Pettit’s large and textured wood sculptural pieces are created with a chainsaw (demos of which are given during the month). Annie’s glass continues indoors in the form of jewellery, and Keith exchanges his chainsaw for fine wood-engraving tools producing delicate prints. I am delighted to have Vicky Woodgate back after an arduous year of writing and illustrating Urban Jungle and A world of Birds. Her beautiful images grace the pages and inform us of all sorts of interesting facts. Harry Venning joins us once again to entertain with his fabulous Claire in the Community comic strips, and showing with us for the first time is Ben Nazarko with his beautiful and evocative photographs of local scenes. Sally Rose is with us for a second year with her very
popular leather bags and quirky fabric birds armed with sugar tong legs! Linda Calvert’s beautiful porcelain lamps incorporate textures from nature, and Holly Johns’ ceramics have an earthy tactile feel. Paula Clark’s fabulous macramé hanging pot holders have a mix of great colours and textures, and Dona Diani is showing her wonderful jewellery with a mix of stones set in silver. I am enjoying my third season as an Artist in Residence at Glyndebourne Opera House and also loving memories of our trip to New Zealand. There will be a variety of talks and demos during the month.

JUDE CLYNICK 54 BARNETT ROAD, BRIGHTON BN1 7GH 5waysprinthouse.co.uk After a break of three years, Printhouse is back in a new house at 54 Barnett Road. When we first opened in 2008, we decided to specialise in original printmaking, hence the name Printhouse. While we exhibit a variety of printmaking processes that include lithography, collograph, etching, wood and lino cuts, wood engraving, screen, and monoprints, this does not preclude other forms of presentation, and this year, we have ceramics that incorporates printed surfaces. For 2018, the original four artists, Jude Clynick, Kitty Cava, Carol Parker, and Karen Potter return, with the addition of three new exhibitors: Jill Vigus, Jessica Jordan, and Clare Buckle. The variety of techniques on display is mirrored by diversity of imagery. Jude Clynick’s collographs and wood engraving explore her obsession with the sea’s movement, Carol Parker depicts the world around her in richly textured linocuts, sometimes combining her prints with beach finds to make quirky assemblages, and Karen Potter’s printmaking is created in response to first impression of feeling, light, and colour. Working from drawings and paintings, Kitty Cava takes inspiration from landscape, simplifying her images through the printmaking process to explore colour, mark making, and space. In her atmospheric prints and books, Jill Vigus evokes emotional responses
to forgotten times and lost places while Clare Buckle’s work explores spaces and structures existing on the edge of town and countryside, inviting reflection upon overlooked landscapes. Ceramicist Jessica Jordan, inspired by aerial photographs of land and sea, uses a range of printing techniques on the surface of her forms. Every Saturday afternoon between 2–4, and some Sundays, one of the exhibitors will be found printing on the Victorian Imperial relief press, taking time to talk to visitors about the printing and sometimes giving away proof prints. Further details will be found on social media. It is always fun to hang the Open House show, seeing each other’s work and discussing ideas. We hope our visitors enjoy looking at the exhibition as much as we enjoy the printing and preparation! OPENING DAYS Open for all four weekends in May

MARTIN BROWN 118 BALFOUR ROAD, BRIGHTON BN1 6ND martinobrown.artweb.com In our bright and breezy house, we have a lively mixture of colourful figurative and semi-abstract paintings, playful fused glass, garden mosaics, and layered glass forms. We are opening for our second year as part of the Fiveways group, having opened many times in the past as an independent house. Martin Brown: This year, I have created a series of paintings based on dancers. Using strong gestures, shapes, and colours, I have tried to describe the dynamic and slightly wild uncontained energy that dancers can express. Vicki Disney: Abstract paintings Inspired and intrigued by the colours and textures in the everyday things we may take for granted; a moss covered wall is an array of shades, textures and patterns, a rusted metal roof is a rainbow of reds, browns and golds glinting in the sun. A little of each of these is captured in her large abstract paintings. From far away, a beautiful abstract canvas, but on looking closer, you see finer textures and details beyond the first glance. • www.vickidisney.com • Instagram: vicki_disney
Rhiannon West: Garden mosaic structures I am a Brighton-based glass mosaic artist. Since exhibiting for the first time last year at Raspberry Surprise, I have been busy taking commissions and developing my style further; working with creating drama through colour and texture.

EVA WIBBERLEY 24 HARRINGTON VILLAS, BRIGHTON BN16RG evawibberley.co.uk 2018 will be our 10th year of opening and, once again, I am delighted to welcome a wonderful selection of artists to the house, including new artists Angela Evans, Naomi Sack, and Sacha Foster. Most of you will know Angela and Naomi, both taking a break from opening their own houses, while Sacha is an exciting young artist blacksmith. The garden will be open, as usual, for hot drinks and cake and a rest amongst Deryn’s and Sacha’s sculptures. In good weather, we will have live guitar music and demonstrations. I have been working on new acrylic and oil paintings with a particular focus on seascapes featuring Cornwall and the south coast of England. GUEST ARTISTS Deryn Bell has been sculpting in stone and clay for 10 years. Her inspiration comes from animals associated with myth, like hares and owls, foxes, wolves, and dolphins. Sacha Foster uses recycled scrap metal, allowing each piece to inspire the sculpture. Working in this way ensures that every piece is individual. Rachel Bell works with porcelain because it is versatile and challenging. She produces lights, ceramic plaques, and vases, occasionally mixing the porcelain with terracotta to produce agate ware. Angela Evans makes her highly original ceramic tiles in a large secluded wooden shed in Brighton. She is inspired by the location of her workshop looking out
onto a rampant vegetable garden, in a city surrounded by the sea and the Downs. Sally Meyer explores natural forms such as seeds and rockpools. She creates multilayered work using acrylics and, by scraping and washing off, is interested in the organic and often surprising results that emerge. Susanna Chaplin uses sketchbooks constantly; her drawings are often ink and wash. Her paintings are taking her sketches into paint, using line and colour. Naomi Sack: Tide Line Finds are creations that Naomi has made from debris collected from local beaches. We all love to walk on the beach and these pieces are evocative of the different experiences we can have, depending on the weather, season, or tide. Peter Legge is a wood turner making beautiful wooden bowls and chopping boards from diverse varieties of wood. Debra Broadhurst explores wildlife and landscapes through etchings and monotypes. Krysia Drury paints in watercolours and oils and loves mixing both vibrant and subtle colours. She enjoys working from nature and is inspired by local landscapes, flora, and fauna. Sue Haseltine makes images inspired by the landscapes she explores by walking and cycling. She works in lino, oil, and watercolour. OPENING DAYS Open for all four weekends in May 54

MARIE-ANNE GANPATSINGH 23 HARRINGTON ROAD BRIGHTON BN1 6RF Welcome to Art at 23. This year again we have a cornucopia of talented artists, exhibiting a wide range of visual art, jewellery crafts and textiles. We aim to create a joyful atmosphere for visitors to appreciate the variety of work on show. Nature is a ceaseless inspiration for my figurative paintings, so is the light at different times of the day and the mood created by seasonal changes. I paint in acrylics and inks. Inks are a wonderful challenge, they seem to have the ability to take the artist to a place beyond her/his intent and lead to new horizons. GUEST ARTISTS Aine Henson works in silver with semiprecious stones and freshwater pearls, and produces beautifully crafted individual pieces. Fay Green’s striking digital prints are finished with hand-drawn details. Leah O’faolain creates striking one-off contemporary jewellery pieces.
Cherryl Willis is back with us to show her new landscapes. Tony Freeman’s seascapes and landscapes are inspired by the Sussex coast and the moody sea. Martin Bentley is exhibiting his luminous figurative oil paintings again this year. Nicole Koenig comes back with her vibrant and enchanting oil paintings. Agnes Chevalier designs landscapes on fabric, and “draws” with a needle as with a paint brush, stitching layers of vivid embroidery thread to create a 3D effect. Anne French takes on the art of decoupage and faux inlay and gives it a whimsical twist. Jane Jukes is inspired by marine scenes and her travels through Asia which she paints in watercolours or acrylics. OPENING DAYS Open for all four weekends in May

A large, stylish pub located next to London Road station, The Open House hosts a gallery curated by the Fiveways Artists Group, exhibiting works by many of the group’s artists. In addition to the Fiveways Gallery, there are two other bar areas, an upstairs performance space and one of the largest and most attractive pub gardens in the city. The delicious food, served daily from midday to 9pm, ranges from light bites to lunches to evening meals and uses fresh, Sussex sourced ingredients.
The pub is relaxed and childfriendly by day, and by night, is lively and bustling, with occasional DJs, live music, theatre, and improvised comedy. Located in the heart of the Fiveways Art trail and only a 3-minute rail journey to the city centre, The Open House is both a great place to view original art and the perfect place to take a break from the festival trail. The friendly and welcoming The Open House staff very much look forward to hosting all lovers of Fiveways art at this year’s May Festival.
