Arabel Lebrusan – leading visual artist, jewellery designer and creative campaigner – welcomes visitors to The Palmtree on Brighton’s Fiveways open house trail in May 2025.
Opening her doors for the very first time, Lebrusan will host a sample sale of filigree jewellery in recycled silver under her award-winning ethical jewellery brand Lebrusan Studio. Designed in Brighton and hand-crafted in Lebrusan’s native Spain by master filigree artisan Lorenzo, each of the jewels on sale is a one-off, never to be recreated.
Alongside Lebrusan Studio’s jewellery, Lebrusan will showcase prints, an award-winning collection of small sculptures crafted from dollhouse furniture, and test pieces fresh from the artist’s studio.
Lebrusan’s open house also makes space for a curated selection of other women artists from the local area. Katy Beinart is there with her etchings, Gabby Leigh and her intricate sculptural metalwork, Alison McKenna and her bold colour-block paintings and Carrie Stanley with her delicate blue drawings.
The Palm Tree is venue #23 on the trail, organised by The Fiveways Artists’ Group. Doors are open to the public 11am – 5pm for the first four weekends in May. Details for visitors, including information on the private view event, can be found via Lebrusan’s Instagram page (@arabellebrusan).
“My practice often treads the fine line between art and jewellery,” Lebrusan says. “Most of my works are conceived as artistic responses to specific social injustices, ecological concerns and feminist viewpoints, narrating powerful stories using a poetic language.
“I feel very privileged to be joined on this adventure by other women with their own stories to tell.”
