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, revisiting our last exhibition at Houghton Hall, North Norfolk

Joceline Wickham concentrates on small still life paintings. She is interested in painting the things she sees around her and organising and portraying them so that some sort of transformation might take place. Sometimes the objects she chooses have a particular meaning or personal connection for her. Sometimes they have a particular quality which draws her to them. Joceline studied at the Royal Academy Schools in the 1970s and has been painting on and off, mainly on, ever since. She has exhibited her paintings widely both in London galleries, including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and many galleries in East Anglia.
Contemporary and Country’s exhibition Rock, Paper, Scissors encompasses art and handmade objects fashioned with the process of their making in mind. It will run alongside the exhibition by Tony Cragg, opening at Houghton Hall, Norfolk on 19 May and closing 26 September, 2021. Tickets to enter the Houghton Hall Estate are on sale from 19 April (entrance to the Stables will be part of the entrance fee)
We are pleased to present three new works by Linda Jamieson. Based in North Norfolk this well established and popular artist continues to produce the most beautiful paintings continuing her desire to capture and represent glimpses of the Norfolk landscape in all its colour, light and shade.
The hand-drawn lines on Katharina Klug's ceramics make the work lively, rough, immediate and unique and preserve the moment of mark- making. Inspiration comes from little snippets of observation in her environment. Lines are jumping out at her in almost anything – stripes on cloth, wires and cables, plants and grasses, architecture and streets to name a few.
As you will be aware the arts have been severely hit during the frequent lockdowns we have experienced this year as a result of the pandemic. Unfortunately theatres continue to remain dark and museums and galleries closed just at the moment people need to be taken elsewhere in their thoughts. So it is very much appreciated that a small selection of East Anglian artists, many of whom we currently work with, have chosen this moment to reveal their altruistic side and donate their artwork in support of East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH), in aid of a fundraising auction for an art therapy program.

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 ©Blott Kerr-Wilson).
C&C display contemporary art and handmade objects in non-gallery spaces like the stables at Houghton Hall. C&C are showing alongside an exhibition of sculpture by TONY CRAGG (19 May until 26 September 2021)
