The Garden Comes Inside: Garden and exhibition tour

Led by Harry Fisher, MA History of Architecture and graduate from the Bartlett School of Architecture, this walk will examine the main features of the hall and garden and relate them to the exhibition.

The garden comes inside’ is a thematic contemporary art exhibition that highlights making in relation to the historic garden at Bolwick Hall, Norfolk.

There are three major themes to the show: plants, animals and the land, and artists include ceramic makers: Helena Lacy, Stephen Parry, Katie Spragg, Nessie Stonebridge, Emily Stapleton Jefferis, Alice Walton, Lucy Whitford, in the company of other artists whose work in two dimensions adds context: Vija Celmins, Phoebe Cummings, Yayoi Kusama, Chloe Mandy, Yvonne Mullock, Kiki Smith.

The garden at Bolwick Hall was designed by Humphry Repton and features cultivated and wilder areas of planting, a lake, the site of an old mill, marshland and woodland.

Caroline Fisher Projects was set up in 2018 to produce exhibitions in a range of venues with a focus on ceramics. Caroline’s interest is in clay as a material with the versatility to express ideas and feelings, as well as to perform a function. Previous exhibitions with Norfolk and Norwich Festival include ‘Plants, Porcelain, People’ in 2021 and ‘Littoral’ in 2024.
