The Arts Society Arun monthly talk: Regeneration of the British Seaside Resort
The Arts Society Arun, Rustington
This month's talk is by Jackie-Marsh Hobbs, "Regeneration of The British Seaside Resort".
Traces from three centuries of seaside holidays are still present in our historic coastal towns, their architecture and environments. Mass transport contributed to their development, but people drifted away with the advent of cheap flights abroad. The opening of new galleries and public artworks is reviving their fortunes.
Doors open 9.30am. Everyone welcome. Guests £7 on the door. Coffee & biscuits available. Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month. For more information, please email [email protected]

Make a Pewter Pendant – wax carving, mould making and cast in pewter

This one-day workshop is ideal for both complete beginners and those with some experience who would like to explore working with pewter.
You’ll be introduced to a range of traditional techniques, including cutting metal, soldering, casting, mould making, finishing, and polishing. Fleur will guide you through each stage of the process, ensuring you feel confident and supported throughout the day.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have created a stunning pendant. You will also be able to take home the wax and rubber mould, allowing you to reproduce your design in the future.
