R. China. Her jewelry collection is currently being carried by the RISD Works. 

Wei Lah Poh’s current body of work is based on found enamelware. She is deeply fascinated with the history of enamelware and investigates this subject in the context of how it can be jewelry. It is an ongoing investigation on how these found objects can become adornments. This work can be found under the Handle series. Since receiving her MFA in 2015, she is currently living in Point Richmond, California.
