16th May: Artifice Store, Part B group exhibition ‘Noisy‘ [link]; “The traditional experience of a jewellery exhibition is primarily a visual one – work sits silently, seen but not heard. And yet, when actively worn and given half a chance, jewellery just loves to make noise!

See the pieces, hear their sounds… join the jewellery cacophony!“; opening 15th, until 29th May
