The Coppers Potter

Sarah Line- The Coppers Potter - will be joining us for Worthing Art Trail with her hand thrown ceramics.

Working with clay since 2019, Sarah has developed a functional style inspired by the seaside and surrounding South Downs. Her work combines colour and texture in ceramics made for everyday use, with individual pieces and subtle variations at the heart of the collection.

Each piece has its own character—made to be used, noticed and enjoyed at home.

We’re delighted to welcome you to the opening on Thursday 17 September, from 5.30–7pm. Come along for a first look at the collection and meet fellow art trail visitors.

We’ll be sharing more of the collection as the installation comes together. In the meantime, follow thecopperspotter for a look at the latest work and the making process.

Venue 25 at Chintz & Wood
19–20 and 26–27 September

Introducing John Haywood, one of our guest artists for Worthing Art Trail.

John paints places—landscapes, cityscapes and interiors—that make him feel something. From familiar stretches of the Sussex coast to Cornish lanes and cities discovered while travelling, he is drawn to the atmosphere and character of a place rather than simply its appearance.

Working exclusively in watercolour, John captures the light and distinctive feeling that first made him stop and look. His paintings can evoke memories, transport us somewhere familiar, or simply offer a moment of calm and escape.

Based in Brighton, John exhibits in the UK and internationally. His work has been selected for exhibitions including those of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours, the Royal Society of Marine Artists and The British Art Prize.

Join us for the private view on Thursday 17 September, from 5.30–7pm.

John will also be at Chintz & Wood throughout Saturday 19 September for an informal Meet the Artist day. He’ll be painting in his sketchbook and will be happy to chat about his work, the highs and lows of watercolour—or whatever else happens to be in the news that day.

A few captures from a wonderful day at Heritage Makes here at Standen, celebrating the enduring inspiration of the Arts and Crafts movement.

We were delighted to be joined by our Future of Arts + Crafts spotlight winners: stained glass artist Grace Ayson, wood turner and designer Jubal, and natural dye expert and designer Chintz and Wood.

The day was filled with fascinating conversations and insights, including three wonderful talks from interior designer and textile artist SueTimney, who shared some truly heartfelt reflections from her fascinating career; Chelsea Flower Show exhibitor and garden designer Imogen Perreau, who spoke about how her background in theatre design has inspired her award-winning work; and furniture designer Alfred Newall and Tess Newall, who explored the ways in which the Arts and Crafts movement continues to inspire their work today.

Together, they celebrated the enduring influence of figures such as Standen’s architect Philip Webb and, of course, William Morris, and offered so many thoughtful insights into how these ideas continue to shape contemporary creativity.

There was plenty more to discover throughout the day, with heritage craft demonstrations and Sussex Craft Studio running hand-weaving workshops for visitors to get involved in. We were also delighted to welcome Gorringe’s Auctioneers, sponsors of Sussex Contemporary, who offered valuations and shared their expertise with those who brought along treasured pieces from home.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, from those who braved the morning rain showers to those who enjoyed the afternoon sunshine! ☀️🌧️

It was wonderful to see so many of you exploring the Future of Arts + Crafts exhibition in the house afterwards, continuing the conversation and discovering even more of the creativity inspired by this remarkable movement.

What a fabulous day. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who took part and to all those who worked so hard behind the scenes to make it happen. 🙏

Hot and sweaty sewing this afternoon, working upstairs in my studio on the cover for a padded stool.
I'm stitching with linen and cotton threads, using a piece of antique linen which already has a mend. I dyed this with madder a while ago, but it's finally found a purpose.
This will sit on a wooden stool that has in production at the moment, and come with us next Wednesday to Standen House and garden where we be showing our work as prize winning spotlight makers, as part of the Future of Craft
