POTTERING AROUND TOWN HANDS-ON
If you happen to be in Cambridge between 13 November and 12 December, be sure to visit the Anglian Potters Christmas Exhibition, where you’ll find a staggering array of pottery made by creatives from around the region. Located in the peaceful venue of All Saints’ Church on Jesus Lane, this popular exhibition is the perfect opportunity to step away from the hustle and bustle of city-centre Christmas shopping, and retreat to a sanctuary of hand-crafted sculptures, tableware and studio pottery. With over 50 local potters showcasing their wares, there’s bound to be a style that suits your tastes. This year, a further selection will be available to view online throughout the duration of the in- person exhibition. Peruse the virtual display at your leisure, with online delivery available to customers around the world. As it’s the season of giving, Anglian Potters are continuing their annual charity tradition by donating decorations for the charity Christmas tree, with proceeds going to the British Red Cross Afghan Crisis Appeal. The Anglian Potters Christmas Exhibition will be open to members of the public from 10am to 4pm, every day except Mondays.

Art exclusives WE SHINE A SPOTLIGHT ON THREE STANDOUT ABSTRACT PAINTERS AT TYRRELL ART GALLERY
FINTAN WHELAN Dublin-born painter Fintan Whelan is the latest artist to join the talented ranks at Tyrrell Art Gallery. Now based in Germany, his method of painting is incredibly calculated, yet the finished works project serendipity – a defiant juxtaposition of process and product, culminating in pieces at once organic and meticulously measured.
ERNESTINE TAHEDL Abstract painter Ernestine Tahedl creates texturally rich compositions, incorporating large brushstrokes of colour with purposeful deposits of paint. By scraping paint across the surface of her works, the artist is able to illustrate the complex, multi-layered nature of the symphonies and operatic works she listens to while painting in her studio.
ANDREA EHRET With a focus on abstract expressionism, Andrea Ehret’s oil and mixed media paintings are the result of her intuitive creative process, balancing tonal contrasts through flowing brushstrokes, to achieve an overall feeling of harmony. The artist’s works ultimately reflect her inner world, representative of the dreamlike experience she continuously seeks.
