Goldsmiths' Fair - Birmingham Graduates have the monopoly at Goldsmiths!
21-Oct-2009
Out of 160 highly original designer-makers from all over the country, 17 Graduates, two lecturers and one Artist in Residence from the School of Jewellery are exhibiting at this year’s internationally acclaimed leading selling exhibition.
“Irresistible jewellery and stunning silverware are the hallmark of the annual Goldsmiths' Fair, since its inauguration in 1983. Imagination, artistry and talent are combined to make precious works of art which are highly original and a far cry from the turgid monotony of mass production. Held inside Goldsmiths’ Hall in the City of London, a visit to the Fair also offers a rare glimpse of the luxuriantly gilded interiors of this exquisite 19th Century treasure.
Goldsmiths’ Fair stands alone as the largest and most inspirational selling event of its kind in Europe. For the past 27 years it has presented an irresistible array of fabulous designer jewellery and unerringly stylish silverware designed and made by some of Britain’s most exciting talent. Established jewellers and silversmiths, many of whom have works in major national and international museums and collections, exhibit side-by-side with young break through talent all eager for recognition.
This year's Fair takes place with Week One opening on Monday September 28 to Sunday October 4 (closed Monday October 5) and Week Two from Tuesday October 6 to Sunday October 11.” Amanda Stücklin, the Goldsmiths’ Company
