Overview: Studio visit with Sarah Walker-Holt

Recently Sarah was visited by The jewellers Guild of Greater Sandringham's
Sharon Fitness and Raewyn Walsh for their online, contemporary jewellery, magazine 'Overview'.
Overview is a fantastic periodical that is made by contemporary jewellers, specially for contemporary jewellers and anyone else who is interested in this field of artistic practice. 'Overview' was started in 2011 and continues to be a growing advocate for New Zealand's jewellery presence both nationally and internationally by encouraging critical discussion and communication in the field. The hard work and dedication this collective have for this endeavor is admirable and well appreciated.  

Below is the extracted interview, but I encourage readers to check out full versions of 'Overview' through The Jewellers Guild of Greater Sandringham's website: www.jewellersguildofgreatersandringham.com
and follow them or become a member on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/167264333370619/
