Sam Ayre
I’m an artist educator specialising in participatory projects with groups of young people.I want to enable, empower and encourage people to have a positive learning experience with contemporary art. Art is a subject that encourages us to interrogate our preconceptions and establish confidence in our opinions. I want to use art as an invitation to learn not intimidate.

His current work is dedicated to researching social space needs in the workplace, creating strategies and briefing the designers, consulting businesses and social enterprises on the best human-oriented solutions.

Ben Browton
I was born on Bonfire Night on the Isle Of Wight. I am a fine artist who trained at Goldsmiths College. I am what would now be termed “gender fluid”. I grew up in Leamington Spa, educated in London and now live and work in Hastings/Bexhill. My interests include international cooking and food, languages, signage, fashion, edible gardening, travel and contentment. Since I visited in 2017, I have developed a keen interest in Japanese arts & culture.
Pia-Jae Carpenter
Artist and Floral designer and grower based in St Leonard’s on Sea. Working primarily in printmaking and collage but also in sculpture; my art practice is in part influenced by architectural elements but also my on-going fascination with how light and colour can transform and create ethereal, transitory and almost illusionary spaces and forms. Interested in these spaces and how they often go unnoticed or valued within the familiar spaces and rooms we inhabit, my work often uses block colour spaces, linear and geometric forms to highlight, manipulate and celebrate these fleeting moments and formations.
Rachael Perrin
Rachael believes that everyone is a musician and that creativity is a fundamental human right. She is a Musician, Mother and Co-founder of Soundcastle, an award-winning community music social enterprise. Rachael is dedicated to exploring the relationship between arts & wellbeing and raising the quality and profile of community music making nationally. She is fortunate to run Soundcastle with four incredible women, who all love supporting social entrepreneurs, through coaching and training, to grow their ideas and make positive impact.
Jane Grimshaw
I have always sewn, from a small child to the present day. It’s how I make my living, how I relax, how I relate to the world. When I see something is broken, I want to sew it back together again. When we formed Hastings Supports Refugees back in 2015 I kept trying to think of ways to stitch it. This is the story of that journey through thread and time.
