Sarah's practice is a constant unfolding—an exploration of the relational threads that bind us to one another and to the living world. Shes work across mediums not to master them, but to listen more deeply: to the voice of clay, the rhythm of thread, the silence held in pigment, the stories whispered by found objects.
I am drawn to the in-between spaces—the thresholds where form meets feeling, where presence slips into memory, where the human and more-than-human touch. These are the places where meaning stirs, quietly and insistently, asking to be noticed.
Found materials or combinations often lead the way. Weathered wood, rusted metal or scrap pieces, discarded fragments—they arrive bearing histories of their own, inviting a kind of co-creation. I see making as a form of collaboration: between myself and the materials, between the visible and the invisible, between what I know and what wants to be known.
Creativity, for me, is not solitary—it is a porous, relational act.
A conversation.
A form of listening.
Each piece I create is both a question and a response, a way of navigating the world’s complexity through touch, gesture, and slow attention.
This is how I find my place in the world: not by defining it, but by moving through it—curious, open, and in dialogue with all that surrounds me.
Working with Me
My name is Sarah and I'm clear life works better when play is a key ingredient.
But have you noticed how when you're stuck there is no play to be found anywhere...?
What play brings is curiosity, experimentation and the capacity to think on your feet; to be able to pivot and access resilience.
Having worked across dozens of different sectors, both gov and private for 20+ years the most common block I see is not applying creative intelligence to problem solving.
Problem solving exists everywhere in life, so it's worth getting good at it.
Whether you work with me one on one in my mentoring programme or my self lead courses or in my creative workshops, you will be developing your creative intelligence.
Workshops
Inspiring workshops to ignite your creative self.
These creative sessions are where you get to expand and explore in a supportive environment of fun and play. These are not master classes in particular creative fields. Instead these are deeply nourishing creative journey's to have you connect more intimately with you.
It's no surprise the more connected you are to you, the more satisfying life is because deviations have less impact and you're taking action aligned with what matters to you.
“You can’t use up creativity.
The more you use, the more you have.”
—Maya Angelou
About the weaving
In the 10 years that I've been running Intuitive Weaving Workshops, I've witnessed literally thousands of people slow down and tap into their creativity and explore the ancient art of weaving.
The video to the left is a snippet of the process and the journey.
This includes some of the the deliciously creative results as well as some of my foraging pics.
I use the Bangalow Palm Infloresences. Whilst I weave grasses, twine, rainforest vine, wisteria, grapevine and ivy for various projects, for this Dadirri-driven process I only use the whole Bangalow Palm Infloresence.
Working with the whole piece means there is partnership between you and the piece. This is quite different from weaving a form with grasses where there's a lot of 'you' in the creation. Partnering with the inflorescence is very different from following a pattern; it requires a deep listening and this is where your intuition steps in.
Every time.
