Left Handed Giant has teamed up with Spike Island to create a new beer, with limited edition artwork labels by Spike Island Artists, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Spike Island’s artist community!
Join us at the Left Handed Giant Brewpub in Finzel’s Reach for a beer tasting, an art exhibition, and a series of short talks by the artists, introducing the themes and processes behind their artworks.
The beer will then be launched publicly at Spike Island Open Studios 2026, from 1-3 May – our hugely popular annual event offering free behind-the-scenes access to our artistic community and a vibrant programme of exhibitions, events and activities.
Meet the artists:
Cliff Andrade – A printmaker, photographer, painter and performer, whose research-led practice explores issues of class, migration, belonging, place and history.
Samuel Fordham – A photographer, printmaker and educator. Samuel’s practice is community-led and focuses on the presence of lived experience and photography’s material form.
Jo Lathwood – A queer artist whose practice spans drawing, moving image, sculptural works, and large-scale installations.
