Welcome To Bexhill

Young artists and their families joined us for a special Lift The Lid session this Sunday - as we made a giant model of Bexhill.
We made the De La Warr Pavilion itself, complete with a seagull on the roof!
Accrington Park - with flowers, ponds, ducks, tadpoles ...
Swings ...
... and trees with singing birds in them.
And we made...
Roads and railway tracks...
Shops...
Railways and trains...
And police stations and fire stations and schools and hospitals.
Finally we made the Bexhill sea and the things we find in it...
Everything from Sailing Boats...
...to whales!
Lift The Lid was hosted this month by DLWP artist Wendy Ann Greenhalgh. Thanks to volunteers Ben and Jehan and all the amazing young architects, town planners, engineers and artists who took part. Lift The Lid sessions happen the first Sunday of every month from 2-5pm. Join us for the next one!

Last day of Warhol

A muted winter sun shone over the last busy day of the Warhol season. The whole place was very busy with people busily fitting in a last look at this great exhibition before it closes. Our fantasy dressing up sessions, where people can come along and try on a few strange wigs, mustaches or tiaras and daydream about hanging out with all the fabulous people at the Factory, are now at an end. We had a good selection of men, women, children, singly or in big groups joining in the fun and exploring their party personas.
if you go down to the woods today ....
you're sure of a big surprise ...
if you go down to the woods today, you'd better go in disguise !





Day and night hiding out
She got no reason to be shy . . .


Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me !




Just like thaaaat !

A happy end to a busy and successful season and many thanks to all those who took part and to the volunteers who helped out.
