but then I went back to photoshop and then
back to Procreate. I use lots of layers!” We
love the finished effect and can imagine
Csodaszarvas, bursting from Stanmer woods,
his twisted antlers cradling the sun.
Looking back through Sarah’s prints, I
notice a fantastical quality to much of her
work (fauns, circus performers, mermaids
and minotaurs all feature). That, she says, is
probably because she and her partner Jon
(Tutton, the other half of Tutton & Young)
got together when they created a travelling
puppet show, many moons ago. “I’m always
wanting to revisit the puppet shows, and
how they used so many different ways of
working and thinking,” says Sarah, who is
best known for her printmaking, painting
and illustration work, but is increasingly
enjoying making sculptural ceramics.
Of course, Tutton & Young are the duo
behind the makers’ fair MADE Brighton
(and London) and the Brighton Art Fair,
which will return next year when the Corn
Exchange reopens. They also established
Atelier 51, a shared studio space in
Providence Place, with a shop selling work
by around 50 artists and makers, and, for
Christmas, have opened an additional North
Laine pop-up shop, at 29 Sydney Street. As
ever, they’ve curated some of the best local
artists and makers (and some
from further afield) under
one roof. Go along and
peruse the huge selection
of prints, jewellery,
textiles, ceramics and other
creations. They will be
open every day up to and
including Christmas Eve.
