Brighton Open Houses : Fiveways trail

Wonderful trail of open houses as part of the Brighton Festival around the Fiveways area of the city.

There was a wonderful selection of arts and crafts. Stand out work this year included ceramics by Yolande Beer who I always love seeing as I have a vase by her I brought a few years ago. I also like the lovely upholstery by Nicki Tarr combining funky materials and vintage chairs. There was nice jewellery by Charlie High which I think are casts of real leaves. Best paintings were Alison Rankin’s interesting still lives of fruit.

The best house was the Ceramic House featuring the wonderful ceramic botanic work by Kay Aplin and Paul Scott’s interesting take on blue and white china. The house itself is beautiful as it is all decorated with Kay’s ceramic tiles and sculptures. As well as the house they show the studio and a new gallery up a small flight of ceramic steps.
