Thank you for a brilliant first week to our new show of handmade prints and paintings by Carry Akroyd and Niki Bowers.

It's been wonderful to see the response to depictions of East Anglian landscapes and British bird life. ⁠

The Show continues until 24th October.⁠

We are delighted to display a stunning selection of new ceramics during our October Show.

Tiffany Scull works from her Dorset studio creating ceramic forms decorated by hand with detailed Sgraffito drawings of many different plants and animals from around the world.

Ania Perkowska is a London based ceramicist. She creates functional pieces inspired by contrasts and opposites. Working mainly in stoneware her techniques include organic textures, sgraffito and slip trailing.

Reesha Zubair produces small batches of pottery, both wheel thrown and hand built, from her studio in Bristol. Her inspiration is her native home of the Maldives: the beach, sea and nature influence her work and this can be seen in the shapes and the glaze colours she uses.

Georgie Gardiner uses the technique of paper resist to decorate her thrown vessels and bowls. Cutting individual pieces of paper by hand she builds up her designs as she goes, creating visually striking pieces with bold graphic motifs.
