House Number 13!

This house includes the artists Hyunhee Kang – painter and Emma Clark – painter.

Hyunhee Kang.

Painting and drawing make me feel good that when I paint I don’t think anything else, when I don’t I am everything else but not myself. I paint ordinary life try to reveal emotions we all recognise.

Emma Clark’s work reflects her love of nature, colour and people, drawing on the beauty she finds in the world around her.

Working in both portraiture and landscape, she captures the individuality of her subjects and the richness of the natural world, combining observation with expressive mark-making.

She is particularly drawn to light and texture, and while her work is bold and full of colour, it also expresses the feeling and quiet intimacy of everyday moments.

Address: Woodside Grange, Woodsland Road, BN6 8EX.

House Number 11!

This house includes the artists Ruth Waters – collage artist, Penny Sanderson – painter, Jojo Clinch - illustrator / jewellery, Gill Harvey – ceramicist.

Ruth is a collage artist using paper she decorates with acrylics. She then cuts, layers and sticks to create unique artworks of the local landscape.

Ruth has been shortlisted for the World Illustration Awards 2019 and 2020 and was the recipient of the Highly Commended Artist of the Year – Artist Open Houses, Brighton 2024.

Penny Sanderson is a Ditchling-based botanical artist, muralist and teacher.  Her work includes original oils, watercolours and some innovative new designs on metal. She has also developed a quality homeware range based on her unique images.

Jojo Clinch is an artist and illustrator based in Ditchling. Her latest collection of original paintings draws inspiration from daily walks across the ever-changing South Downs and the luminous glow of dusk. Working primarily with ink and watercolour, Jojo paints dreamy, imagined landscapes. Alongside her painting, she handmakes delicate silver jewellery—including intricate silk knotted necklaces adorned with semi-precious beads and handmade silver clasps. All of her creations come to life in her garden studio, where she also works as a children’s book illustrator.

Gill Harvey

‘I make a wide range of functional wheel-thrown ceramics in stoneware and porcelain - from tiny salt bowls to mugs, vases and statement fruit bowls. Taking my inspiration from the geology of the local area, I aim for a warm rustic feel and a sense of connection to the chalk and flint of the Downs.’

Address: 22 Semley Road, BN6 8PE.

Jessica is an artist based in Hassocks who has been selling online, in shops and museums for over 10 years now. She focuses on handcrafts, including laser-cut household, jewellery and decor items. Some of her designs are based on local British flowers, autumn leaves but as well colourful and art culture in Brighton but also in her love of Japan and Japanese culture.

Hannah founded Kitsch Fish out of a lifelong fascination with mermaids and a passion for collecting kitsch, vintage ornaments. From her home studio, she creates nautical-themed chalkware wall plaques inspired by the charm of the 1950s and ’60s.

Verity Rebecca: Eco silver & gold jewellery adorned with texture, gems & granulation created by Verity Rebecca on the Sussex Downs. Ready to wear & one of a kind.

Ditchling Soaps is a small, independent soap company based in Ditchling, East Sussex, created by Charlie Batty. Each bar is handmade in small batches at home using the traditional cold process method, with natural, nourishing oils and pure essential oils.
