Trevor Beattie is a magic lantern showman and researcher based in Hove, Sussex. His shows use original lanterns and slides to re-create the popular optical entertainments of Victorian times. Before the invention of photography the slides were beautifully hand painted, often including mechanical movements and magical dissolve sequences. Later, many early photographs took the form of lantern slides which the Victorians used to produce educational, religious and comic series.The Victorian South Coast includes original lantern slides of life in the resorts of the south coast of England from 1860 to 1930. Many of these photos are unique. The show also includes some comic slides and stories.

Cygnets Art School Billingshurst

Weekly term-time art class teaching step-by-step, traditional drawing, painting and sculpture. Unique projects; experienced teachers, and professional quality materials. Our 5-12 groups are suitable for all abilities, and projects are designed carefully to be stimulating and challenging for everyone. Fees are paid via a monthly subscription, spread evenly across the year. Learn how our subscriptions work here [1]. Please note that all Cygnets Art School classes are drop-off only. We look forward to welcoming your child to class. *The theme for the Summer Term (Apr–Jul) is _'Native American Culture'_* This term, students will explore the rich cultures, landscapes, and symbolism of Native American communities through a thoughtfully curated series of art projects. Children will learn how art has been used to tell stories, honour nature, and express identity, while developing their own creative voice. Inspired by traditional patterns, powerful animal symbolism, dramatic landscapes, and meaningful artefacts, students will experiment with a wide range of materials and techniques. Projects may include bold mixed-media works, textured painting, drawing inspired by nature and wildlife, and sculptural pieces that celebrate form, pattern, and storytelling.
