Bohemia Creative Quarter

Bohemia Creative Quarter A diverse group of creative independent businesses & residents in the Bohemia area of St. Leonards. What do you want to see happening in your area?

Bohemia Creative Quarter (BCQ) are a diverse group of independent businesses & residents in the Bohemia area of St Leonards, who have come together to celebrate the creative talents, showcase them and bring in the wider community. All who are involved in BCQ want to do our part to make this area the best it can be. Starting with our “First Sundays”, and working with our local council, we’re hoping

to create entertainment for our local community and help breathe life back into some of the unloved areas. We’ve been so inspired by the vibrant community of creatives living in the area, and wanted to create a hub to “put us on the map” so to speak. If you’re a local resident or business, we want to hear from you, you don't need an artistic background, just a desire to create something positive in our local community. What issues can we help resolve? Would you like to be included in our “First Sundays” & Instagram community? Please use our community group to discuss what you’d like to see, & our page to see the latest updates on what we’re doing.

"BA Hons Degree in Design
Trained as a silversmith and worked in Mid Wales for a decade making rings and earrings before becoming interested in the larger colour palette and larger size choice of working with stained glass. Mainly producing commissions for private houses, I have been experimenting with some new techniques.
My new work basks in the grey area of what is meant and what is imagined.
Designations and symbols merge, giving the observer the freedom to interpret the runicons and create their own narratives. (What you see is what you guessed.)
All the following pieces have been created using traditional stained glass fabrication processes with designs painted and fired in the kiln. A mixture of glass paints and enamels have been used".

Rex's work is hanging in our window - where it loooks great - but unfortunately it's impossible to get a good picture due to the light & reflection. Well worth coming to see in person.

“Aqua Swim”
Acrylic on paper
£90 Framed

“Originally from London, Hastings artist Samantha Guertin takes her inspiration from the rich and varied land/seascape of East Sussex.
On leaving art school she set up her first studio in East London, working as a sculptor in clay focussing on the female n**e form.
Her work is colourful. She uses acrylics and oil, working both in the studio and plein air. She seeks to catch something of the moment in her paintings - to capture the essence of the scene and invites the viewer to share this vision”.
