I love how varied the work is at Birmingham. There is no house style as you sometimes get with groups of students studying together...great to see so many different materials and processes being used. What a great course to study on!

Andrea Wagner

Andrea Wagner has several upcoming shows including galleries in NY, Spain and Canada. I really enjoy seeing the evolution of Andrea's work and how she is constantly exploring different materials and pushing the processes she uses. The newer pieces you can see below use synthetic resin, paint, porcelain and ceramic transfers. You can see they have a connection to her previous works, but something new is emerging from them. I love their fragmented compositions.

Upcoming exhibitions:

International Exhibition Contemporary Jewellery by Emerging Artists.Galerie Noel Guyomarch, Montreal, Canada

Mariposa/Papallona/Butterfly Gallery Amaranto Joies, Barcelona, Spain

Wear it or Not Museum of Arts and Design, New York, USA
