This Friday at The Waffle Shack, we have a special art class for kids!
In this class we will be painting a ceramic pot, in the shape of a snail! Followed by planting some cress seeds into the pot!
We are thrilled to announce the winning poster of Art at the Beach on Saturday 3 June 2023, has been designed by local artist, Alison Adcock!!
We LOVE the colours in Alison’s artwork and feel it was a great fit to promote Art at the Beach for June 2023!
But let’s be honest… this was a tough competition!! All those who submitted a piece for the competition didn’t give us an easy job of choosing the winning poster! But we would like to thank everyone who got involved and submitted a design. East Anglia hosts a very talented bunch of creatives!
So, what’s next?… you can expect to start seeing this poster scattered around Suffolk and hopefully further afield. If anyone would like posters or can help distribute please get in touch and or leave a comment at the bottom of this post.
Thank you to everyone who is involved and we look forward to sharing the list of exhibitors with you VERY soon!

WOW! What an event!
First of all, a huge thank you to all the exhibitors, visitors and supporters of the event, without you, none of this would be possible!
On the day we had an eclectic mixture of artworks on show and what a feast for the eyes it was! We also had a demo tent which housed Lois Cordelia, Catalina Carvajal and Toby Mayhew, who all demonstrated their incredible talents as artists by painting live.
We also had an activity tent that was free to visitors on the day. The tent was run by five wonderful ladies from the After Hours Collective and they helped guide people through the activities available, which varied from pebble decoration, mini flags and beach themed collage.
A unique van was also on display and this was kindly brought to the event by Suzanne and Alex from inc_Suffolk (menta). The van was painted by artist, My Dog Sighs, and it made for an exciting addition to Art at the Beach.

This weekend, Frida Kahlo, was in Felixstowe!
It was carnival weekend in Felixstowe and what a glorious event it was! The theme for the carnival was ‘hero’s and villains’, so it was only right that I dressed up as my artistic hero, Frida Kahlo.
A huge thank you to the organisers of the event, the supporters and spectators.
