This exuberant exhibition is a happy precursor to Christmas. Building on her knowledge of textile design Natalie Ellett’s layered, nautical pictures are enlivened by family holidays, nursery rhymes and toys. I do like to be beside the sea, on fabric, combines traditional and modern images with a seagull superimposed on an old dressing pattern while Boat in a box with stamps is made of a piece of driftwood on to which hangs a lifesaving ring made of a shell, suggesting a safe journey ahead. Hazel Gearing attended a course on children’s book illustrationi by Korky Paul; her lively watercolours, like his, are perfect for children. “Inspired by anything that makes me smile” five birds dance joyfully in Hen Party. South African, she sneaks an indigenous guinea-fowl into a row of bouncing sheep in Joys of Spring, thus making the distinction between the funny side of the domestic animals in England and those in the wild like the complacent, sturdy African warthogs tripping along on tiptoes.

Anna Lever is a director of Sunningwell School of Art. Her whimsical ceramic sculptures have a touch of magical realism. Like Stanley Spencer and Chagall, who depict ordinary folk in unusual situations, Traveller Two, has a pierrot relaxing on the back of a stripy cat with heavily made-up eyes. Alison Berman’s stick-like Giacometti figures, Two Children, and Two boys with a dog, are poised, ready to spring into action, on Port Meadow (pictured). Also made of papier-mâché her surreal Flower-light ladies are actually standard lamps, each lady represented only by a party dress into the neck of which is inserted a bouquet of leaves and flowers that light up when evening falls.

Susan Wheeler’s striking linoprints glow with fresh intense colours — lime green, orange and scarlet. Matthew Arnold’s Field, Boars Hill, set against a rolling hill, has a crowd of stylised flowers moving in the foreground suggesting umbelliferae, while the sweep of trees curling round the bend of a disappearing path in Snow under Hornbeams, Radley brings to mind Samuel Palmer’s pastoral scenes. Until December 13, 11am-4pm.
