            The artists and makers we present are often based in rural locations. If they are city based they tend to include the natural environment in their subject matter or production process.

            FEATURED ARTIST THIS MONTH – Ruth Howes

            MORE ABOUT RUTH HOWES

            Ruth Howe’s paper cut works are made with an absolute economy of materials including this is one of her newer three dimensional framed works. Ruth lives and works in Norwich. Venturing away from the city to the countryside and coast with her dog makes for exploration and a new enjoyment of depicting a natural environment.

              Putting Paint to Canvas

              The painters we are showing in A Fine Balance at Houghton Hall Stables, capture the splendor of the natural landscape; depict the beauty of coastal reaches; open fields, fens and woodland. Some work in an abstract style while others are more figurative in representing the landscapes they see and wish to convey.

            Our makers create beautiful handmade objects that are one-offs: cushions, cups, chopping boards and decorative furniture for the home. They use diverse materials, often natural, and associated with an under appreciated craft and the rural location where they have been produced. These include seashells, hand-turned wood, wool, glass and ceramics (Right ©Laura Huston).
