LAURA TEAGUE
LSU MUSEUM STORE CELEBRATES 15 YEARS OF SUPPORTING LOCAL ARTISTS
“
I think it’s magical that I can take a simple length of silver wire and turn it into something unique and beautiful that women love to wear using only my hands and simple tools. Laura Teague
The LSU Museum Store celebrates local artists who have shown their jewelry and crafts for the last 15 years. Local jewelry artist Laura Teague’s handmade sterling silver earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings have grown in popularity as her unique style has evolved. Influenced by ancient designs, contemporary motifs and childhood memories of playing games such as jacks or making chains from clover flowers (which are some of her most popular designs), Laura’s jewelry conveys a sense of joy and play. Laura grew up in Arkansas where she was surrounded by music and craft through her mother’s interests. Although she was always involved in art and craft projects, Laura has a special affinity for jewelry design and decided to pursue that interest in a serious way. Completely handmade in her studio in Baton Rouge, Laura Teague’s jewelry has won awards at art shows. She was recently honored to be commissioned to create a special jewelry piece for the Opéra Louisiane. Please stop by the LSU Museum Store to view her unique jewelry or go to Laura’s website www.LauraTeague.com.
