The Makers Residency @ 358

I remember my childhood home being turned upside down in the month of May during the my mum’s Artists Open House exhibition. The three-piece suite would be crammed into my bedroom which as a child was a real novelty! My mum; a painter, used to curate her own open house exhibition inviting a few of her friends as guest artists. She had a love/hate relationship with it. Working full time and having your house open for the weekend definitely took its toll. One year, I offered to help out and take over the organisation of our open house. It was at this point that I realised how much I loved organising exhibitions and art events. I then started to think about organising the first fair, bringing together artists and makers on a larger scale. 4 years later….here we are!

This year, we’ve decided to bring some of our fair exhibitors to show with us here at 358 Ditchling Road (where it all began). The house is on the Fiveways Trail, close to the Fiveways shops. We hope to see you there!
