The students’ work is there for all to see as they visit the shop and offers a unique opportunity for these talented young artists to mount a public exhibition alongside established artists and craftspeople in the community.

“We have a prominent space in the village and are thrilled to share it with such exciting work” said Louise Scholefield who sells her handmade jewellery through Billingshurst Creatives under her brand The Silver Torch.
