Balancing Cultures: Jewelry – Every One, Every Culture, Everywhere

We may have found the ultimate subject of balancing cultures. Jewelry. Yes Jewelry. It was and is a part of every culture. The questions I have: What is the balance of cultures.... Between artist and audience, between artist and client, and between artist and themselves, their experiences, the things that impact their work.

Our Guest Today: Laura Deakin is an Australian-born contemporary jeweller who has lived abroad for over a decade, and recently relocated from Munich to Melbourne. She completed her BFA at Monash University under Dr. Marian Hosking and in 2004 she moved to Munich to complete a post-graduate Master studies at Munich’s Academy of Fine Art (Akademie der Bildenden Künste) under Prof. Otto Künzli.

Coral Covey is sustainably-made fine jewellery. Designed and handmade by Laura Deakin in Melbourne. Jewellery to treasure for a lifetime.
