Artefact Wines
The unique, small-batch wines we produce - known as our Artefacts - embody the innovative spirit of the Artelium project, tying together our Winemaking and Arts programme. Each release represents an opportunity for the Winemaker to experiment and be creative.
For each Artefact wine released, an original artwork is commissioned to form part of Artelium’s growing collection. The commissioned work includes the label designs, which mirror the artisanal nature of the wines.
The art that remains on site remains as a memory - an Artefact - of the wine once the limited-release has been sold and enjoyed.
The Artefact Prize
We’re delighted to be giving a Sussex-based artist or maker the chance to design Artefact wine labels, win a commission for up to three related artworks and exhibit at the estate.
We are providing this fantastic opportunity through our new ‘Artefact Prize’ which has been created in collaboration with The Sussex Contemporary.
The 2024 prize was awarded to sculptor Rosie Mortimer.
We’re excited to be working with Rosie on the labels for our next range of Artefact wines, released in 2025.
A Celebration of Making
24th - 28th March 2025
In 2025 Artelium is partnering with The Makers Directory to create a week of maker’s workshops led by talented Makers Directory members under the banner ‘A Celebration of Making.’
There will be a vibrant and bespoke offering, from Lino-printing to table -scaping, jewellery making to basket weaving. The workshops will vary in length and price, from short 2 hours sessions for you to dip your toe, to expansive half-day workshops. Our ticket prices include a delicious lunch and a glass of Artelium wine to have either before or after your session.
We have a range of confirmed workshops for you to view below, with more being added over the next few weeks. Exact dates and times will be confirmed at a later date. Not sure what to go for? Why not choose one of our gift vouchers and decide later on. These also make perfect Christmas gifts for creative and crafty loved ones.
