ABOUT
The Studio at The Lido is a collaboration of four creatives who have come together to offer locally made crafts and artwork at sensible and affordable prices. To avoid unnecessary competition, all of us have different areas of expertise and offer upcycled furniture, fused glassware, photographic Sussex prints, and hand-crafted bags and pouches; with quite a few other quality items besides. Just pop over to the Gallery menu to see what we have to offer or click on the artist's portrait to go to their site.
THE TEAM
Alison Jones
ChicItUp
​
Alison is the founder of The Studio at The Lido with her excellent upcycled furniture. She also sells regularly on her Etsy shop, website, and Facebook Page so her turnover is very high. Each piece is unique so if you see something you like, best snap it up quick before it is gone.

Adrian Woodside
Seaglass Marvels
My name is Adrian, and I live on the south coast in the UK. I've only lived here for the past 5 years and it is the best move I have ever made. I love walking by the sea in all weathers; it is both relaxing and exhilarating. I never tire of watching the crashing waves, smelling the salty air and hearing the distinct cry of the seagulls.
Sea glass searching was a natural occurrence after spotting these colourful little gems in and amongst the pebbles. It became a delight to uncover these treasures, and it is now the main focus of my walks, turning what I find into stunning pieces of jewellery and other beautiful items.
Facepot Emporium
My passions are ceramics and linocut of which I’m hoping whilst studying I can merge the two together.
My work is hand built ceramics using delicate porcelain for my ghosts and a combination of different types of clay for my pots and dried flower hangers..
I’m excited to be part of the creative team of local artists featured in The Studios and am currently studying ceramics at Northbrook college in the evenings
Nicola Gregory
Rooted in Craft
​
Nicola designs and creates her own unique designs herself, and hand burned (pyrography). None of it is done by laser.
All wood used is fsc certified and where possible I hand make as many items as I can from scratch using my band saw and scroll saw. Items are then oiled if required to be food safe and otherwise are given several coats of a water and heat resistant varnish. Bags are sprayed with a uv and water resistant protectant.

I have always been creative since my childhood, and majored in knitting at university. However, I have not knitted after teaching myself to crochet from YouTube lessons, and have dabbled in various different crafts and textiles. For me, it is all about colour, and you can find and order more of my work by clicking on my image.
