Land, Sea and the City
Jo Shepherd, Kim Croysdill and Bill Elliott
Monday 30th March - Saturday 25th April
Jo Shepherd is a Norfolk based landscape palette knife painter. Working primarily in oils, Jo is inspired by the vast Norfolk and Suffolk skies, the endless coastlines and diverse landscapes. Jo captures fleeting moments in time. The shifting light, evolving cloud formations and winds rustling through grasses.
Kim Croysdill is a Suffolk based small batch ceramicist working mainly with stoneware. Her inspiration comes from the garden, nature and organic forms. Glazes are kept to a minimum to allow the work to speak for itself with Raku, wood firing, oxides and natural materials which capture the organic beauty of nature.
Bill Elliott is a commercial illustrator, storyboard artist and animator from North London. He has worked extensively within the animation industry for the last twenty-five years. In 2015 he founded Kong Studio, an award-winning animation studio. In his spare time he paints, puts pen to paper and daydreams about drawing comics. His wife is convinced he is colour blind.
Ring of It
Susanna May
Monday 11th May - Saturday 13th June
An exhibition of mostly small oil paintings painted from life by Susanna May who moved to wonderful Bungay last year.
‘The paintings are mostly small because I paint them in a cigar box converted into a paint box which I carry in my pocket (with some little brushes, some rag and an old mini Baileys bottle of turpentine). My subjects are sights of daily life, the places I am in with light shining on them.
I have called this exhibition ‘Ring of It’ because of the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins’ idea of witnessing; witnessing the beautiful world. Seeing it and telling the truth about it. That is what doing painting is about for me.’

Landscape and Still Life
Stephen Yorke

Stephen won a place at Mosely School of Art aged 11, where he studied classical rendering techniques in all aspects of art. Now, a professional artist and writer living in Bungay, he works in oil, acrylic, watercolour, oil pastel, pencil and intricate pen and ink, creating works in a variety of styles – ranging from the traditional to the more contemporary abstract. He strives to capture and communicate a ‘time of day’ ambiance to every scene or inanimate object. To quote Stephen’s doctrine, "Wherever there is nature, there is Still Life. Whenever there is art, there is life, still." |
Black Shuck Childrens' Exhibition of Art and Poetry
Thursday 30th July - Friday 7th August
This exhibition is the result of the Black Shuck Festival’s outreach programme with artists and practitioners visiting
Bungay’s schools to hold poetry writing and art workshops to produce the work for the exhibition.
We are always amazed at the creativity of our local schoolchildren: a must-see exhibition.
