The Sting of Passion

Date: 10th Jul 09 - 2nd Oct 09

Location: Manchester Art Gallery

Time: 10:00 - 17:00

Cost: Free

Curator Jo Bloxham has selected twelve of Manchester’s Pre-Raphaelite paintings, to provide a platform on which to inspire 12 international jewellery artists.

The paintings portray woman as a Femme Fatale, a seductress, and in some cases, purely an object of beauty and each of the jewellers has responded individually, with astonishing results.

The jewellers have created an exciting body of work using a diverse selection of materials, from gold and garnets to concrete and broken glass. The Sting is an opportunity to explore an area of jewellery design rarely seen in the UK.

Please note: Manchester Art Gallery is closed on Mondays.
