A Sense of Jewellery

A Sense of Jewellery brings together outstanding examples of modern jewellery by forty artists and designers made in Britain over the past forty years. The exhibition sets out to rediscover British jewellery design and celebrates the quality of design and material innovation which has emerged from independent studios in this period. As part of the London Design Festival (19 – 25 September 2015), a special display of contemporary female artists and designers will explore themes of globalisation, identity and nanotechnology through jewellery design. There will also be special film screenings in association with the Crafts Council looking at jewellery: its design, making and wearing from many perspectives. This UK retrospective has been brought together by guest curators: Amanda Game and Professor Dorothy Hogg MBE.
