The Claremont is back in it's fourth year as an Open House and proud to be showing one of the biggest and most impressive collections of contemporary art in the Festival.

We hope the combination of over 30 artists contributing stunning new work in a wide variety of mediums throughout this charming Victorian building and walled garden, plus the chance to sneak a peak at Brighton and Hove's first five-star guest accomodation, will make this an opportunity not to be missed!

During May, we are open every weekend 11-6pm EXCEPT Sunday the 22nd but we are open on the Bank Holiday Monday (30th)

Phil Lyddon

I am a professional member of the Craft Potters Association, and have been making pots in Brighton since the 1970’s. I am interested in the idea of the miniature and concentrate on small-scale works, mainly hand-thrown porcelain bowls. I aim to make graceful forms with restrained surface decoration, and I often distort the piece after throwing to add an element of asymmetry.I have featured in many exhibitions, and I currently sell my ceramics in galleries in Brighton and throughout the UK.
