Autumn into Winter Exhibition

In celebration of H.J. Jackson's new book 'DRAWN TO PRINT' the gallery’s main wall features a collection of his framed linocuts including the book's cover image 'Beached Three'.

Born in King’s Lynn in 1938, H.J.Jackson (John to his friends) cut his first lino block during his last year at school in 1953. The print earned him a place at Norwich Art School. He obtained a National Diploma in Graphic Design and subsequently worked in Marketing and Publicity, printmaking during evenings and weekends. Since 1995 he has pursued printmaking full time. John is a Senior Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, a member of the Society of Wood Engravers and has had a long involvement with Norwich Print Fair as contributor and curator. His support for the arts is unstinting, and his enthusiasm infectious.

NEW BOOK NOW IN STOCK - DRAWN TO PRINT by H.J. JACKSON -

In this brilliant new book John exposes his fascination with the failed M&GN railway, the redevelopment of Norwich in the late 1950s, the varied architecture and landscape of rural/coast Norfolk and the colourful paraphernalia of the fishing industry. This is not simply a collection of linocut prints, but a showcase of the sketches, paintings, preparatory drawings and prints that form John's artistic process, taking the reader from the first idea to the final linocut - although many ideas never made it to the printmaking stage. A fascinating insight covering 160 pages and made in Norfolk.

Priced at £25 it makes an excellent Christmas gift. We also stock John’s other two books ‘Afloat & Ashore’ (£25) and ‘A Printmaker’s Christmas’ (£10)

The gallery is full of colour and inspiration from the moment you walk in, with  stunning works including ceramics, glass, paintings, prints, Murano glass jewellery, and exclusive, limited-edition hand-knitted ‘Barley’ Lopapeysa Sweaters.
