Wanda Shum

 

Wanda Shum is a B.C. grown artist who was formally trained in Electronic Communication Design at the Emily Carr College of Art and Design; she’s been an independent artist for over 18 years with a variety of works to her name. All her work has embodied an attention to detail in form and function. Wanda’s works are recognized for their bright and whimsical qualities.

Currently, she’s working with polymer clays in a technique called ‘millefiori’. ‘Millefiori’ or ‘A Thousand Flowers’ is a traditional Venetian glass art that involve the formation of a cane-like sculpture with fused glass rods that has a pattern throughout. The modern version of this is created by laying different coloured polymer clays together. Then the cane is sliced to reveal the design within. Wanda describes ‘millefiori’ as a combination of painting and sculpting.

This technique has allowed her to create unique limited edition designs of jewellery (She has created a few exclusive designs for the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature). Her latest body of work, especially her teapots have moved beyond the framework of form and function into the distinct realm of collectible art pieces.e proud to offer the highest quality, most unique merchandise on the market today.
