Kirti Patel
Kirti Patel has worked as a designer maker in Birmingham for the past nine years. She is currently developing her practice to include transforming her
jewellery designs into concepts for public art. After graduating from the Birmingham School of Jewellery in 1997 Kirti set up her workshop in the Quarter.
Her specialism is working in silver and resin inlaid with metals to explore textures, form and patterns. She is influenced by Indian and Japanese ritual,
culture and metalworking techniques. Often the wearer is able to engage with the jewellery, for example with moving elements or interchangeable parts. Kirti has completed a number of individual and business commissions, including a gift commission from Birmingham City Council to present to pianist Peter
Donohoe at his birthday concert. She has exhibited her jewellery throughout the UK and worked on designs for large scale public art commissions.
