In January 2012, BRINK, a ‘not-for-profit’ contemporary arts organisation based in Kenilworth, will be presenting the works of seventeen local and regional artists in a new showcase at “The Tiltyard” in Leyes Lane, Kenilworth, Warwickshire.
Every year in June, artists and craftspeople across South East England open their doors to the public. It is a unique opportunity to meet, talk to and see them at work as part of the South East Open Studios event. For artists it is a great way to connect with their local community, display their work in a unique way and gain promotion. The next SEOS event will take place on 1st – 17th June 2012.

Not many artists today are able to put their whole creativity into their music, but I was given the chance to meet someone who has worked hard to be different.
Usually found busily sewing away in the Deaf Cat cafe in Rochester, Zara Carpenter is an inspiring craftswoman who leads the way for many creatives. Maybe by learning some more about her we can draw even more inspiration…
Sian Bostwick is a jewellery designer in Rochester, Kent with incredible skill and talent. Her work, inspired by fairytales and fantasies, truly please the eye and each piece is beautifully crafted in its design. To find out more about her skill and in the aim of inspiring others I asked Sian some questions about herself and her craft.
