Robert Fairclough: Drawing for Wellbeing

Friday 9th May - Saturday 14th June

When Robert Fairclough moved back to East Anglia in 2017 he rediscovered a love of drawing, primarily of archaeological digs organised by the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Culture. Since then, Robert’s drawing has expanded to include the heritage of most of East Anglia, with a particular emphasis on life in his hometown of Lowestoft.

He has suffered from bipolar disorder for most of his life; consequently, Robert strongly advocates sketching as an important aspect of mental wellbeing, a belief he’s been glad to pass on in drawing workshops. As long as sufferers can produce one drawing a day, Robert believes, then that day’s been worthwhile and is an important step towards recovery.

Claire Kerrison: Nature Form and Land

Monday 30th June - Friday 4th August

In The Reeds. Medium: charcoal, linseed oil, pastel and collaged mono print.

Claire’s art is an expression of the joy and inspiration she feels when she’s in the natural world. Childhood walks and outdoor play built the bedrock for a love of the intimate and wider Suffolk and Norfolk countryside.

At eighteen she started the journey of creative study and gained a BA Hons in Printed Textiles.

Claire works in mixed media influenced by the ever-evolving landscape. Colour, movement, light and texture are fundamental to her artwork.

She has created a vivid and vibrant palette using acrylic, pastel and collaged monoprint techniques whilst also incorporating linseed oil, charcoal and ink to create monochrome scapes to reflect a stark and atmospheric representation of her walks through intimate and expansive spaces.

Claire’s exhibition will incorporate detailed observational nature studies and a series of impressionistic landscapes.

Norfolk and Suffolk Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers:

Fleece and Fibre at the Fisher

Friday 29th August 2025 - Sunday 7th September 

A treat for lovers of textiles, this exhibition will showcase the work of the talented and enthusiastic fibre artists and craftspeople in the Waveney Valley, South Norfolk and North Suffolk.

Spinning, weaving and dyeing were the bedrock of the wealth of the region in the Middle Ages. The guild continues to foster these age-old skills and celebrate the achievements of its members, whether they be new to these crafts or experienced and established textile artists.

Anyone who has an interest in the making of yarn and cloth, the use of textiles for decoration or for practical household purposes will find a visual feast. Perhaps it will inspire you to take out those balls of yarn at the back of a cupboard at home and get creative!
