Alec Stevens — Shard (detail) 2017
Following a national open call for submissions, three artists were selected for a residency and the opportunity to immerse themselves in the collection at Felbrigg Hall Alec Stevens, Florence Kennard and Alida Sayer.

Felbrigg Hall, Norfolk
Felbrigg is a seventeenth century house that still retains the feeling of a family home while presenting the precious collections of some of its early residents. There are many fascinating paintings, sculptures, furniture and objects, reflecting making in all its forms and also an extensive library of books and manuscripts. The walled garden includes diverse plant species, fruit and vegetables and is rich in wildlife.
The artists appointed will have the opportunity to become inspired by Felbrigg estate, its house and grounds, during a week long residency.
