The puppet of the Iron Lady by Roger Law - a co-creator of the show Spitting Image - is featured to highlight a new exhibition of the artist's work, called Satire to Ceramics, that is coming to the Norwich venue later in the year.

About the Spitting Image show, Mr Law, who also gave a talk at the SCVA stand on Wednesday, said: 'It was a weekly, topical satire show. It's the only time in this country where school children knew all the names of the people in the cabinet. On a good day it was funny – and it was very successful. 'At its peak it had 15m viewers. So really I should be doing it again because we've got absolute chaos in the country.'

He added: 'Donald Trump would be good to do, because he's got these tiny hands and a completely orange face.'

Also at the Sainsbury Centre stand, people can enjoy hearing a series of free pop-up talks by artists, curators, historians and art specialists and children can have fun decorating Sainsbury Centre-inspired bags.

The Sainsbury Centre For Visual Arts stand can be found at 185 President's Avenue at the show.
