Where better to write than a bookshop with a cafe? When better than at 5am? Join other local writers from 5am on the first Wednesday of every month to work on your work in progress. Coffee, tea and pastries available to kickstart your writing morning. We'll open the shop at 5am and you're welcome to join us then, or at anytime after that - and leave whenever you need to. The shop opens to the general public at 9am but if you're in full flow, you're free to stay as long as you like. Tickets are limited to 20 as we only have so many chairs and table space. While the majority of writers sit upstairs in the cafe, we also have chairs and tables on the ground floor and in the cosy basement, so feel free to spread yourself about throughout the bookshop - wherever you feel comfortable. Tickets cost £5 and include a hot or cold drink. You can buy other drinks to keep you going during the morning. The local bakery usually delivers our pastries at about 7am to give you that extra energy boost. This is a silent write session - there's no workshopping, just the motivation of being around other writers as the sun comes up. Why do we do this? Author and bookshop manager Cathy Hayward has regularly risen at 5am to write and she wondered if other local writers did the same. We started the 5am Writing Club in the bookshop as a trial on the Summer Solstice 2023. They've proved popular so they're now a monthly fixture and we'll keep running them as long as people keep turning up. If you have any questions, or feedback, email cathy@kemptownbookshop.co.uk Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable just because of the admin invovled and Eventbrite's high fees - sorry.

With Jane as your guide you will begin by creating colours and patterns on paper using rubbings, spattering and mark making. There will be a choice of papers, different textures, and various mediums to explore. Then you will create a collage either cutting, tearing or both - there are no rules to collage, it can be as precise or random as you choose! All materials will be provided but feel free to bring any wrappings or cuttings you may choose. Jane becomes absorbed in the subject and the process, enjoying the contrast between the studied delicacy of her flower painting, the considered method of her landscape weaving and the relative spontaneity of collage. Jane was awarded 2022 Surrey Artist of the Year. Cost: £125, to include vegetarian lunch and refreshments Information Source: The Garden House, Brighton | eventbrite
