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. Experience our virtual walk-through of our current exhibition at Houghton Hall, North Norfolk film here
The paintings we are currently showing in A Fine Balance, Houghton Hall are part of Ferenc Cseh’s "Transparence" that express his interest in the possibilities of space, space alteration by objects, movement in space, and the relations between humans and space. The transparent layers provide both lightness and depth to the emerging new objects and give the illusion of delicate movement. These paintings evoke a sense of fine balance between the playfulness of movements, delicate structures and the tranquillity of the final emerging objects.
Springs Fireplace Road is the title of the group of etchings by Colin Self and printed by master printer Maurice Payne at Editions Alecto between 1968 and 1971. We are showing this incredible print edition at A Fine Balance, in the stables at Houghton Hall. Payne has printed for Hockney for over 40 years and it was at a chance meeting with Self in the 1990s at a David Hockney private view, that reconnected them.
We would love to see you in person to show you the works by local artists in A FINE BALANCE - running alongside the Anish Kapoor at Houghton Hall this summer. You can visit us online now too… take a virtual tour of our exhibition with hot spots that link through to each artist on our online shop, so you can see each work that interests you in detail.
There has been an unprecedented amount of interest generated by the decision to hold a major exhibition of sculpture by Anish Kapoor at Houghton Hall. Many media outlets ran broadcast reports on the evening of 9 July - read on to view just two of them, with more promised...
We are delighted to announce that our pop up event A FINE BALANCE will open 12 July in the stables at Houghton Hall alongside Anish Kapoor's much anticipated exhibition. Please see the main Houghton Hall site to see opening times and ticket prices. All tickets need to be purchased in advance of your arrival under COVID-19 guidance. Social distancing measures will be in operation.

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).
