Overview: Sarah Walker-Holt, Shook into Being: Reflection of a mentor-mentee experience

Sarah recently wrote an article for the Jewellers Guild of Greater Sandringham. It is a brief reflection and summary of the first 12 months of her 2 year experience as a mentee to renowned jeweler Helen Britton. Being half way through the Handshake 2 project there is still a lot more to come, starting with a masterclass with writer/artist Ben Lignel at the beginning of February and exhibitions through the year at Sydney's Stanley Street Gallery, Avid in Wellington and Pah Homestead in Auckland.
