Snippets is the result of 36 international art jewellers capturing a sense of place evolved from just a self selected photograph of Manchester. Each artist has developed personal attitudes towards and around making to explore a mixed media approach within different languages of jewellery. The diverse interpretations from a snapshot of the city advocates artistic investment, craftsmanship and creative development for each unique jewel. Snippets has bloomed into a show that turns up the frequency on the creative process and individual voice. Representing an international responsive outlook for works that as a whole, become a new anthem about Manchester.
