The goal of ‘ Made in the Jewellery Quarter’ is to let the people of Birmingham and the wider region know what is made on their doorstep, plus give them the opportunity to buy a piece of craftsmanship and a contemporary product from artisans, designers and most importantly locally based businesses.

I like how a bunch of different businesses have pulled together and taken it upon themselves to make this happen. Anyway, the exhibition will be at the Art at Artfull gallery, 23-24 Warstone Lane, B18 6JQ from 1-28 February.

Art at Artfull‘s latest exhibition, ‘The Cutting Edge of Fashion’, will showcase the work and designs of Rebecca Forster, a Wolverhampton based designer.

Rebecca’s work concentrates on her passion for everything Japanese, looking at the art of origami to create a collection which can be altered by the wearer and giving a structured appearance to all of her outfits. Her own placement prints, which have a graphical edge, adorn the outfits and seem to leap off of them, bringing us a taste and flavour of the Japan she visited a few years ago.

After the private view evening on 14 January, the exhibition will be open from 10am – 4pm daily until 29 January.

Artfull Expression is based in the Jewellery Quarter, at 23 Warstone Lane, Birmingham, B18 6JQ.
