Sara’s metalwork stands out through personalised features. Each piece is a unique reflection of a story, song, experience or treasured memory. Located in Shropshire Sara blends artistic skill with personal touches to craft metalwork that speaks to the heart.
“When I begin a new piece, there is rarely anymore than the most basic idea, often inspired by a line in a song, a quote from the radio or a comment that hits me and I know that’ll become a piece of work on the future.
Primarily I work in copper, using brass, bronze and silver as highlights. More recently I have started to use wood in my creations, sourced by scouring wood piles, beaches and keeping an eye out whilst walking the dog. Their knots, bark and gnarly bits are the bits that keep me interested.
Generally I start each piece by hand-piercing the copper. I then texture each part using stamps and rollers, going on to fold or form them around various hard woodblocks to produce the main body. Hinges, clasps and links are all made using the age old techniques passed down from maker to maker. I join each part by using silver soldering techniques and rivets. When the metal work is complete the piece is then polished and patinated before adding any extras such as magnets or clockwork mechanisms.
Having always been a maker, back in 2006 I was able to take a degree in Applied Arts at Glyndwr University. I fell in love with metalwork!”
