Anglian Potters – a group of ceramic enthusiasts from across East Anglia – has unveiled a new online pottery exhibition, showcasing the work of more than 40 local potters. The exhibition of studio ceramics features an array of styles, including bowls, vases, sculptures and wall plaques – and every piece is handmade and unique. There’s also a special collection based around the theme of hugs, with 100% of the proceeds from each of those pieces going to Nelson’s Journey, a charity that supports bereaved children in Norfolk. You’ve got until 9 October to get your hands on one before the exhibition closes. anglianpottersexhibition.com ANGLIAN POTTERS ONLINE EXHIBITION

KETTLE’S YARD IS BACK

Kettle’s Yard, one of Cambridge’s best-loved contemporary art spaces, is once again open to the public. The venue is now welcoming visitors to its house and galleries from 11am to 5pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The gallery’s live webcam installation and virtual tour offerings proved popular over lockdown, but as many art lovers would agree, there’s nothing quite like experiencing it all in person. One of Kettle’s Yard’s most popular exhibitions, the bold and provocative Linderism , is still running until 11 October, offering a disruptive exploration of famed artist Linder’s often controversial work – make sure to catch it if you haven’t already. Entry to the house and galleries is free, but tickets must be booked in advance. kettlesyard.co.uk
