Students exhibit jewellery-inspired art at museum

Walsall College’s Supported Learning students on the Creative Arts programme are currently showcasing their work in an exhibition at the Walsall Leather Museum.

The ‘Made in Walsall’ exhibition, which will run from 24th April to 26th May, is a chance for students to display their work and share their creativity with others.

Artwork impressively ranges from visual studies, textiles and 3D to print making and digital photography. Work has been inspired by a trip students had taken to the studio of local jewellery designer, Jolene Smith.

The ‘Made in Walsall’ exhibition has been running for over 20 years, and is an excellent way to showcase the talent present in the college’s Supported Learning department.

Supported Learning Lecturer, Jennie Jones said, “The standard of work here is extremely high and is evidence of the innovative and creative work our Supported Learning students produce. We are very proud of the diverse work generated by our students and would encourage everyone to go and have a look at the exhibition.

“We would also like to thank The Leather Museum for their continued support in helping us to celebrate our learners’ achievements.”
