- Heritage Open Days, events at the Town House Talk: Women in the Arts in Brighton & HoveSun 13th September, 12:00noon - 4:00pm, talk at 1:30pm admission free The Brighton and Hove Women’s History Group will be giving a talk on some of the women who will appear in our latest book. Sylvia Bluck will introduce us to some of the local women who over the last 200 years have written novels, poetry, memoirs, hymns and a wide range of non-fiction. Some are still in print, like the novelist, Georgette Heyer (1902-1974), credited with inventing the Regency romance genre. Others have been forgotten, such as the diarist Evelyn, Princess Blücher (1876-1960), married to a Prussian aristocrat, who became a controversial chronicler of life inside Germany during WW1. Many others combined their writing with conventional domestic lives, while others were mired in scandal. Brighton School of Art, photo courtesy University of Brighton Design Archives Clare Hughes will be looking at women artists who lived and or worked in Brighton and Hove. Brighton has a rich history of being home to artists. Women have played their part in this story and they need to shine! She has uncovered otherwise unheard of local women artists. Laura Bayley, left, and Nell Emerald, right. Gerry Holloway is researching women involved in the stage and screen in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She focuses on women who as well as being stage actresses became involved with the early Brighton and Hove film industry. This will include actresses and film makers Laura Bayley and Nell Emerald.

Hand building techniques and Pottery Wheel – All Levels Over eight weeks, Roberto will guide you through a well-rounded introduction to the world of ceramics, exploring three of pottery’s fundamental techniques, slab building, coil construction, and wheel throwing, alongside glazing and surface decoration. This course is designed to give students a broad and hands-on experience of pottery, with a strong emphasis on handbuilding techniques. Handbuilding allows you to shape clay using only your hands, simple tools, and your imagination, it’s a wonderfully intuitive and creative process that forms the foundation for understanding form, structure, and surface. As the course progresses, you’ll also be introduced to the pottery wheel, adding the dynamic challenge of throwing to your growing skillset. The final weeks focus on glazing and finishing, giving you a complete view of the ceramic process from raw clay to finished piece. Roberto’s teaching combines technical precision with warmth and encouragement, creating a supportive environment where students of all levels can grow in confidence and creativity. Each session includes clear demonstrations, personalised one-to-one guidance, and plenty of time to explore your own ideas. By the end of the course, you’ll not only have a small collection of your own finished ceramics, you’ll also have a deeper understanding of pottery as a creative craft, and a solid foundation to build on.
