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.
