Thrown and OmVed Gardens are proud to present ‘From This Land’, a specially curated group exhibition for the Chelsea Fringe. The exhibition brings together artists who draw inspiration from and for nature, whether in responding to the landscape around them, collecting natural materials to use within their work or creating vessels to bring nature into our homes.
Featuring emerging and established names, the show will focus primarily on ceramics alongside a collection of abstract landscape-inspired drawings by recent graduate Samantha Silverton and handmade textile flowers by Isabel Dodd. The exhibition will also include Zulieka Melluish’s botanical-pressed wall plates, Simon Kidd’s wheel-thrown and slip-cast porcelain ceramics incorporating the materials and tools that have created the landscape of his home in Northern Ireland and Andrea Roman’s installation of 100 experimental terracotta vessels.
The exhibition will feature ikebana arrangements in response to some of the works on display by Aya Tanaka, professional Japanese flower designer and Ikebana professor, who will also be leading a series of workshops throughout the week.
‘From This Land’ will span both Thrown’s gallery space on Highgate High Street and the converted greenhouse exhibition space of OmVed Gardens at 1 Townsend Yard.
Featuring: Alistair Blair, Tom Crew, Isabel Dodd, Adam Frew, Lise Herud Braten, Simon Kidd, Joseph Ludkin, Zuleika Melluish, Lisa Ommanney, Andrea Roman, Samantha Silverton and Alison West.

Daisy is doing her best to keep her chin up and her head down – but as the first anniversary of her mum’s death approaches she begins to realise grief isnʼt something she can put aside indefinitely, and whether she’s willing to admit it or not, things aren’t fine.
From the silly to the sublime to the scary to the ridiculous, Daisy wrestles (sometimes literally) with her grief – Ian, a 6-foot invisible bald guy with a lot of luggage – eventually discovering that by letting him into her world she is able to reconnect with the memory of her mother.
Combining physical comedy with striking aerial acrobatics and an original, constantly moving aerial set, the debut live show from She Said Jump draws on theatre clown, circus and puppetry to tackle the themes of grief and bereavement with a light and playful touch.
Suitable for ages 8+
