Christmas officially started in Brighton last weekend with the 9th annual Open Houses Christmas Festival.
There are lots of opportunities to buy original
arts and crafts from local artists and the Festival is running over the first two weekends in December.
On a bright and sunny Sunday morning, my first outing this
year started on the Hove trail where I kicked off my spending spree at Kellie
Miller’s studio in Wilbury
Grove, Hove where I was greeted with a glass of hot mulled cider and a
fabulous mixture of artworks and ceramics.

Another favourite, which I visited at the May Festival, was 9A Hove
Place, which has an eclectic mix of work from hats & accessories, to
sculpture, ceramics and woodcarvings.
There’s 23 houses on the Hove Trail and a total of 65 throughout the
city, so if you’re stuck for ideas for gifts this year, this really is a fun
way to do your Christmas shopping!
My workshop isn't on the trail, but I'm currently taking orders for my traditional door wreaths, which are all individually made by hand onto a wire frame, bound with fresh moss and decorated with fresh evergreens - and would make an ideal gift!
