The William Dudley Trust is pleased to showcase below some of the work by this year's recipients of awards made to students at the Birmingham School of Jewellery.

Margo Misiak-Orlovic

Margo was awarded the William Dudley Trust Artist in Residence bursary in November 2025. She became an Artist in Residence at the School of Jewellery in the 2024/25 academic year following her graduation with an MA in Jewellery and Metal. She is invested in the exploration of the variety of enamelling processes and interested in experimentation with materials and technical processes. She greatly enjoys teaching and has received positive feedback from students for her enthusiasm and technical knowledge. She hopes to continue with experimentation with enamelling processes and to create larger sculptural pieces.
