I’m Sarah, a socially engaged textiles artist committed to delivering inclusive, participatory projects that bring people together through creativity. With a First-Class degree in Costume Design with Textiles from the University of Huddersfield and ongoing MA study, my practice explores how making can support connection, wellbeing and a sense of belonging.

I collaborate with communities using textiles, conversation and storytelling to explore identity, memory and lived experience. Inspired by everyday objects and personal histories, I create welcoming spaces where participants can share knowledge, develop creative confidence and connect with others through the act of making.

My process often begins with poetry, a simple sketch or by responding to the materials themselves. I work intuitively using simple mark making, print and stitch, adding and removing layers to create surface pattern and texture.
