Joshua Kosker

Joshua Kosker joined the Frostic School of Art in 2022 as the Art Shop Supervisor and Area Coordinator for Foundation Art. Joshua is a contemporary jeweler and visual artist originally from western Pennsylvania. His work explores impermanence and counterintuitive methodologies, while examining craft, materiality, and the body. Joshua exhibits nationally and internationally, with his work recently published in several books including: New Brooches: 400+ Contemporary Jewelry Designs; To the Point: Pin Mechanisms and Brooch Back Design; and Narrative Jewelry: Tales from the Toolbox. He received his MFA from Bowling Green State University and his BFA from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
