Exhibition 'Materials and Making: Sculpture and Craft from the Gallery's Collection' in Wolverhampton Art Gallery
Materials and Making highlights a selection of sculpture, ceramics, glass, metalware and decorative art items from the Art Gallery's collection.
The exhibition features historical and contemporary sculptural objects which are richly textured and made from different materials using a variety of processes and techniques. The abundance of shapes, colour and patterns on display invite visitors to explore and enjoy their surfaces and forms, some of which can be touched.
These collections are part of the creative and industrial legacy of Wolverhampton, the Black Country and the West Midlands region, which has a fascinating history of success in the design and manufacture of industrial arts reaching back to the 18th century and which was closely linked to the advance of art education in the Victorian era.
