Cat Gibbard the Education Officer has been working with different groups looking at salt as a theme.

Work throughout the night with Amanda Lorens to create an animation of tales in a salt landscape. To sustain our audience and participants there will be a variety of fruits from the sea, from the edible to the aural available, including a series of salty tales, told throughout the night. The Studio Cafè Bar will be open from 5pm until 12midnight serving Margaritas and a range of tasty morsels.




There will also be information about the project to create a route of traditional salt making linking sites in Portugal, Spain, France and the UK.

Young people will be creating new work in the space during a two week programme exploring the science, mythology and importance of salt and the processes by which it is extracted from the sea.
