Paddock Art Studios in Artwave 2025
Artwave is the opportunity for the Paddock to show the range of creative activities that go on in our studios. There are six studios to visit:
Rowena Williams Paddock Studio Pottery
I work in stoneware clay to produce a range of domestic ware that is inspired by the coastline of Sussex. I also make one-off pieces using the Raku firing technique. Both will be available to see and/or buy at Paddock Art Studios this
Artwave. Pottery taster sessions and day courses are available.

Lewes Mosaic Makers
We are a small group of enthusiastic mosaic makers meeting throughout the year to share our love of all things mosaic. We have a creative and experimental approach, a mixture of traditional mosaic techniques and repurposing old china and tile. If you are interested in discovering more, and a place is available, you can try a drop-in session for a small fee. Nicole will also be exhibiting collage and abstract mixed media work.

Louise Gorst @ Mindfully Creative
Louise Gorst is a local artist and art tutor. Her work is inspired by the gestures, expression and rhythms in dance, movement, music and nature. She has a passion for spontaneous mark-making processes and combines drawing, printmaking, collage and painting. Often working in a series of 9, she explores themes of form and movement, expression and reflection, order and chaos.
Jeanne McNair and Claire Mumford, Printmakers
​
Jeanne and Claire share the use of the ground floor Print studio.
Jeanne’s linocut and woodcut prints feature faces and figures, often using chine collé (collage) to add colour and texture. She also works in drypoint. jeannemcnair@hotmail.com
Claire makes prints using linocut, woodcut, collagraph and monotype methods. Her work often has a narrative element. More of Claire’s work can be seen on Instagram @claire_mumford_prints and on Etsy at clairemumfordprints.etsy.com​​​​
Paddock members’ exhibition
Every year during Artwave the main studio at the Paddock is transformed into a gallery to show work by our members. Last year there were over 100 works by 36 artists on show. The range is tremendous: paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture. Much of the work will be for sale.
Natalie Walton in the Stable Gallery
Natalie Walton is a vibrant artist and designer. Natalie utilises an array of diverse materials and methods, from clay and wood, to acrylics, printing and collage, often incorporating found and recycled materials. Natalie is innately energised by reactive experimental play with materials, form and colour. Her thematic show ‘Interplay’ includes sculpture, painting and assemblage.
