About this event
This beautiful exhibition brings together the work of three talented Suffolk-based artists, Cyndi Speer, Carol Pask and Mac McCaughan, whose creative practices span painting, ceramics, textiles and metalwork.
Cyndi will be showcasing a selection of her original dreamlike oil paintings, mixed media collages and giclée prints, as well as greetings cards, with each piece reflecting her deep connection to the natural world.
Carol will be presenting her striking sculptural ceramics alongside her Land to Cloth textile range, featuring hand-dyed, hand-knitted and woven wool accessories made from native British sheep breeds.
Mac McCaughan will be exhibiting his beautifully-crafted metalwork that blends traditional blacksmithing techniques with contemporary design, often reflecting natural forms, combining strength and elegance in forged steel.
The whole collection celebrates the richness of creative practice rooted in craftsmanship, storytelling and connection to place, and is a treat not to be missed!
All works will be available for purchase from the artists themselves.
The exhibition will be held in the Meadow Room, behind the sunken garden outside Roots Café.
About the Venue
Blackthorpe Barn is an old medieval threshing barn, but these days the Barn and surrounding buildings are used for events including the festive Country Christmas shop, selling a wide range of Christmas decorations and gifts, and the Arts & Crafts fair at Christmas, as well as other events, the Roots Café, craft workshops and art exhibitions during the year. It is also used to host beautiful weddings during the summer months.
We are part of the Rougham Estate which grows sunflowers and pumpkins and runs events in the summer and autumn.See the events calendar for day-to-day information, or follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see what’s on.
The Blackthorpe Barn was built around 1550, probably by John Drury who had just acquired the Manor of Rougham through the dissolution of the Great Benedictine Abbey at Bury St Edmunds in 1539.
