Salt Glass Studios, in Burnham Thorpe, are holding a series of exhibitions to celebrate the area’s diverse landscape and the crops that grow there, from now until January 4.
Bounty of the Burnhams Through Glass Exhibition focuses on food economies from saffron, grains, fruits, sugar beet and shell fish to samphire as a rich cultural currency.
Fiona Wilkes, of Salt Glass Studios, said: “Working closely with Burnham farmers and producers this first exhibition explores through a series of glass-print works the revival of Norfolk Saffron by Dr Sally Francis in Burnham Norton, Nina Plumbe’s unique heritage orchards Plumbe & Maufe Farm in Burnham. Overy Town and Jon Brown’s harvested mussels from Burnham Deepdale & Norton Creek.”
The exhibition is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm.
