On display will be a collection of unique decorative mirrors, all inspired by the town of Hastings. Many of these mirrors are created using wood and metal salvaged during the refurbishment of Hastings Pier following the devastating fire of 2010, breathing new life into these pieces of history which would otherwise have been lost forever.
Each one has been individually designed to reflect the imagery, atmosphere and colourful history of the Pier, from crumbling Victorian ironwork and evocative 1930's lighting to the modern post-fire refurbishments.
Also featured will be work from John Cole, official photographer for the Pier restorations, and Stewart Walton, watercolour artist and creator of much of the wooden furniture on the Pier.
There will be a programme of associated talks, workshops and a 'Creation Station' where you can get involved by drawing pictures, taking photos, writing stories and poetry about Hastings. These will be put on display and there will be prizes for the best ones!
