Mirror Mirror: Reflections on Design
For centuries, successive generations of the Cavendish family have commissioned art and design for their ancestral home at Chatsworth House. Mirror Mirror reflects on that history, while introducing new works by sixteen artists including Ndidi Ekubia, Fernando Laposse, Andile Dyalvane, Ini Archibong, Samuel Ross and Najla El Zein, which appear across the house and gardens.
18 March – 1 October at Chatsworth House, Derbyshire
Pretty: Jess Parry / Walter Keeler
There's two exhibitions to catch at Llantarnam Grange this spring. Explore how artist Jess Parry combines collage, embroidery and found materials to construct monstrous yet feminine forms, before discovering eccentric ceramic tableware by Walter Keeler. The potter's lifelong interest in mudlarking – which he discovered as a child – has remained central to his work for decades. This solo show celebrates his sense of tradition and the legacy of the potters that went before him.
Jess Parry and Walter Keeler both on until 22 April at Llantarnam Grange, Cwmbran, Wales
Halima Cassell: From the Earth
Objects from Halima Cassell’s own craft collection sit alongside a new ceramic sculpture inspired by G.F. and Mary Watts, the founders of the Watts Gallery. The piece, made from local Compton clay by the leading maker and former Crafts magazine cover star, will be the first acquisition by a living artist to join the Watts Gallery Trust collection.
14 March – 18 June at Watts Gallery, Guildford
