Meet Sophie Eaton

Artform: Watercolour and Ink

Sophie is a local watercolour and ink artist inspired by Whitby, the North Yorkshire coast, and the places Sophie visits.

Sophie says:

“My work mainly focuses on landscapes and buildings, capturing familiar scenes with a loose, expressive approach. I embrace a slightly scruffy and distinct style that celebrates imperfection, reflecting how rough lines and marks can create something beautiful.

Through my paintings, I show the character and charm of the places I love.”

Where:
Shared space at St Peter’s Centre

Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 September 2026

WHITBY STEAMPUNK WEEKEND XIX
6th - 8th February
Whitby Pavilion
Times t.b.c.

SPECIAL GUEST AUTHOR ANNOUNCEMENT:

PAUL ECCENTRIC

Introducing Author, Poet and raconteur Paul Eccentric who will be reading excerpts from his astonishingly rip roaring new book, The Gin Wars – Volume One, The Pull of Penhalligan's Pier at Whitby Steampunk Weekend XIX (times tbc)

The Periwinkle Perspective: 'The Gin Wars Trilogy' follows on directly from the original Periwinkle Perspective hexalogy. You haven't read them? Shame on you! But don't stress, you can always go BACK and read them AFTER you've read this!

Paul will have a trade stand within the upper hall of Whitby Pavilion over Whitby Steampunk Weekend XIX ~ Feb 2026 where you will be able to purchase various merchandise and books, including The Periwinkle Perspective and The Gin Wars books, which he will be happy to personally dedicate for you!

About our Special Guest:

Paul has been writing and performing for over forty years. Having played Glastonbury seven times, and performed at countless other festivals across the land every year, he rather enjoys the solitary life of the writer!

He is probably best known as the mouthy half of dyslexic poetry duo ‘The Antipoet’: the beatrantin’ rhythm’n views act that currently takes up most of his life.

Paul lives in Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire with his goat, Gizmo, various chickens, two cats, a very naughty tortoise and his long suffering wife, Donna.
