Our Winter Pop Up is back, celebrating the artists and makers that make up the studios here at Colonnade House along with local artists, makers and charities. From painters, printmakers, illustrators, textile artists and designers, it will be the perfect opportunity to meet a whole range of Worthing based artists, as well as find some beautiful hand made gifts in time for Christmas.
Meet the artists and makers below…
Carole Waller
Carole Waller recently moved here from Bath where she made painted clothes and scarves alongside large scale paintings for many years. She now has a studio at Colonnade House and will exhibit her new small paintings alongside prints, cards, and her signature colour filled painted and printed scarves in silk and cashmere. She studied Fine Art in Canterbury and the USA and her work can be found in the V&A in London aswell as other collections here and abroad.
Sarah Sepe
Sarah is showing hand made work suitable for cards, gifts and stocking fillers. As well as a selection of framed lino prints, she has made a selection of original print Christmas cards for the Christmas shop. In addition she is showing new work, quirky crepe paper flowers that would make great gifts.
Alison Tyldesley
Alison has exhibited successfully with a number of galleries across the UK. She has a degree in Fine Art from Exteter and now dedicates herself to her art practice. Currently her work is exhibited at Workshop Wales Gallery and Hope Contemporary. She also shows her work locally at Colonnade House and with the West Sussex Art Society.
With a close affinity to the British Coastline and countryside, her paintings attempt to address the delicate balance between abstraction and representation. In addition, she has recently focused on colourful mixed media still lives and landscapes. These include collage, paint, gelli printing and stencilling.
Mia Bilbeisi
Mia is a West Sussex-based artist currently experimenting with colour, form and texture.
She focuses on the interplay between two and three-dimensional forms, blurring the lines between painting and sculpture. By transforming discarded domestic fabric through dyeing and restitching, Mia gives these unwanted materials new life. The resulting forms loosely reference familiar places and people, but are recontextualised, creating works that are both known and subtly ambiguous.
Luke Brand
Luke Brand is a men’s fashion designer and will be selling a range of his clothing products at this year’s Winter Pop Up.
Esmée Brand
Esmée Brand is a graphic designer with a love of playful illustrations, bright colour palettes, and vintage inspired design.
Esmée tries to bring fun into all her work, often using relatable and humorous quotes on the stickers and badges she sells.
Sinja Hamilton
Sinja Hamilton designs and creates clothing in his studio here at Colonnade House. He will be selling a collection of hand drawn designs on t-shirts, hats, hoodies and more.

All of the trainees have their own talents and are supported in whatever they’re passionate about.
Liz English
Local artist Liz English works mainly in acrylic on canvas or paper loving the immediacy they offer. Collage and freeform embroidery also has a part to play in her paintings. Returning to the pop up, Liz will be selling a collection of paintings as well as mugs, cushions and prints.
Lucy Rowan
