'Natural Elements'

by Jon Earney and Sally Dorrity

6 September - 8 November 2025  

​​

This Autumn The Turrill Sculpture Garden hosts ‘Natural Elements’, pairing Jon Earney’s found-stone sculptures with Sally Dorrity’s hand-built, frost-resistant stoneware.  Her practice emphasises slow handbuilding, unique forms and simple, kiln-driven glazes that reference movement and natural texture. Jon Earney is a self-taught sculptor with roots in lapidary who sources stone from beaches, mountainsides and recycled woodland, revealing the quiet beauty shaped by tide and time.

Together their works create a conversation between fired clay and carved stone, suited to the garden’s changing light and weather. The exhibition highlights local making, material curiosity and the evolving crafts of two fine Oxfordshire practitioners.
