Sally Laing Jewellery and Enamel Looking for something different to do this summer? Try a jewellery or enamelling class in my lovely Ōākura studio, set in a peaceful garden a few minutes walk from Ōākura CBD. I set up my studio in 2002 from where I design and make enamel and silver jewellery. After my children moved overseas and after spending a few years in Wellington, Taranaki called me back in 2017. I am part of The Ōākura Arts Trail and I teach design and technology in schools as well as privately from my studio. My jewellery is shown and sold through galleries in NZ, Australia and UK as well as directly from my studio or website. Enamel is an ancient craft where a kind of specialist glass is applied to metal and fired in a kiln resulting in a durable and beautiful coloured surface. There are very few enamel practitioners in NZ and I regularly teach in Wellington as well as from my home studio. The beauty of enamel is that absolute beginners, young or senior, can get great results after a few hours guidance. Sometimes experienced artists come to up- skill. My weekend enamelling workshops happen a few times each year. Weekly silver jewellery making classes are a lot of fun. Clients can follow pre-designed projects, or more often quickly develop skills and confidence to make their own chosen projects with help from me, some even setting up their own benches at home. Check www.sallylaing.co.nz for scheduled classes, or you can arrange a bespoke jewellery or enamelling class, between 3-18hours to do either jewellery making or enamelling for jewellery by contacting me directly [email protected]. www.sallylaing.co.nz sallylaingjewelleryenamel student work
