MAGIC CITY is an exhibition of current work from recent graduates and established artists from the
School of Jewellery, Birmingham.
Flourishing despite the recent global downturns, jewelers coming out
of Birmingham have shown a resourcefulness and resilience in the making
and presentation of their work.
Velvet da Vinci is pleased to showcase a selection of this talented group.
Contrary to the often-remarked grey of its post industrialism,
Birmingham, a city of multiple cultures, has become a vibrant center for
the arts. The artists of this city are forging a strong presence within
the art jewelry world. They are making a name for themselves for
producing distinctive and desirable work that is offbeat, loud, quiet,
funny, thoughtful, unfamiliar and unabashed’. Velvet da Vinci
