Yes the treasures of the ocean have reached Manchester.

Runs from 16th September to 1st November 2008.

In Ocean Treasures at the Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre foyer there is an eclectic mix of jewellery and craft from artists and designers with an eye for the nautical.

I made a collection of pieces using blues and aquamarines and splashes of green

all with an eye to the etherial use of these colours and a focus upon the sea.
