Greyfriars art space hold official opening of exhibition in King's Lynn's Custom House

Artists from Greyfriars art space held their official opening at their new temporary home at Lynn's Custom House last week.

The downstairs area of the venue has been temporarily given to Greyfriars by West Norfolk Council.

Local historian Dr Paul Richards attended the opening along with Cllr Elizabeth Nockolds on Friday.

Artist Paul Ebbens said: "Dr Paul Richards talked about the history of the Custom House, it was fascinating. The way he spoke about it made it feel so real and animated."

Paul wants to encourage any keen artists, or those with an interest for art, to come along to the Custom House while Greyfriars are in there.

The artwork currently on display by Peter and Paul are a mixture of assemblage and ceramics.

The artwork is inspired by lockdown, and both artists described how art was an escape from them during the difficult time.

"Covid has inspired this exhibition, making art has got me through tough times," said Paul.

Both Paul and Peter's work will be on display until Saturday, August 13.
