The Yellow House, UK
I’m off to Brighton tomorrow, business intertwined with vacation.
Every year in May a growing number of houses and artist studios in Brighton open up for Artists’ Open Houses which is part of the Brighton Festival. This year 170 houses are taking part and I’m in the Yellow House.
The Yellow House is the home of Jehane, Alex and Lucas who generously opens up their house for artists to show their work and visitors to come and view and buy. I’m taking up recidense in the kitchen and will probably spill out with a mobile or two into the garden, in the good company of Kathy Laird. I’ve brought a bit of everything - vases, bowls, tealight holders, beakers…
Amongst the other artists taking part this year is Jane Muir, whose little ceramic men I simply adore.
Beautiful paintings by Becky Blair (above) and Hannah Cole (below).
More ceramics by Sylph Baier and jewellery by Nicola Becci. And last, but not least, Jehane’s exquisitely embroidered silk cushions and other textiles.
There will be something for everyone! But the best thing is The Yellow House, it’s every bit as welcoming and lovely as it looks in the picture above. If the weather allows it, perhaps Alex will bring his guitar out and we will all sit around the garden singing and sipping Pimm’s…
Check out the opening weekends and hours for the Yellow House. I’ll be there for the first weekend only, but my ceramics will stay on. No 5, cuthbert road, queen’s park - say hi if you come visit this weekend!
And if you can’t make it, you can always buy these artists work and many more from the Yellow House website.

How wonderful, I have always wanted to go to the Yellow House, I hope you get glorious weather and the guitar.
Also the spring flowers in your vases looked so fresh and lovely, I love the clean simplicity of you Scandinavian ladies.

I like the 5 tiles pic. Me and my mom made a similar tile for her family room table. It is really easy and fun to do.
