Pru Green and Elly Robinson are filling the whole ground floor of Pru Green's intriguing house with an Aladdin's cave of East Anglian treasures. Not only will there be a stunning display of Pru's delightful and colourful pottery, but also the work of eighteen other artists and craftsmen, seven of whom are members of the Suffolk Crafts Society:

  • pottery by Pru Green
  • appealing linocuts by Penny Bhadresa
  • elegant jewellery and silversmithing by Edward Broadway
  • funky brooches by Annette Burrows
  • amazing paper jewellery by Alison Dane
  • velvet scarves and recycled bags by Jenny Nutbeem
  • ceramic hangings and mobiles from Sara Paynter.

What's more, five of these excellent artists live and work in Wivenhoe. Not only Pru Green, but painter, printmaker and publisher James Dodds whose new series of superb linocuts from "Longshore Drift" will be on show; Meriel Ensom who paints beautiful birds and fish on driftwood; Nel Moy who makes captivating hats; as well as enchanting glass work, including jewellery, from Robina Jack. Robina's sister, Susie Wilson, will be showing her fabulous cushions, bags and aprons; there'll also be charming textile jewellery from Alison Englefield and beaded jewellery by Caroline Munnings, all illuminated by "Divine Light" lanterns by Angela Wallbank.

As well as James Dodds and Penny Bhadresa's linocuts, the walls will be adorned with the exquisite etchings of Elizabeth Morris, lovely hand coloured wood engravings by Yvonne Skargon, saucy ceramic "Cuddles" ceramics by Daphne Sandham and the jewel-like oils of Jos Wickham.
