All Will Be Revealed

Children from Small Heath School have presented Toye Kenning & Spencer with two murals after collaborating on various projects between them.

Year 9 pupils from Small Heath School watched their creations unveiled in Toye Kenning & Spencer’s new foyer and showroom, by chief executive, Fiona Toye.

The brief for the pupils was to design and create large-scale murals that would celebrate the heritage of the Jewellery Quarter and Toye Kenning & Spencer’s place at its heart.

Pupil Shafee Islam explained: “This was an amazing project to be part of; we’ve worked on every stage from the first piece of background research to the last element of its creation.

First,we had to investigate both the Quarter and Toye Kenning & Spencer to get inspiration and then we were able to really let our imaginations take hold and come up with some exciting designs.

Bringing our ideas to life as we created the murals was amazing; we’re incredibly proud to see them displayed in this way.”

“These murals are incredible,” explained Fiona Toye, chief executive of Toye Kenning & Spencer.

“We are a company with creativity in design at our heart and a heritage of superb craft skills.

Toye Kenning & Spencer is working with Small Heath School as one of its partners in industry. The murals were the first collaboration between the two and other projects are now being planned.
