“Once upon a time, when women were birds, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world through joy.” -Terry Tempest Williams
Hi there, I’m Sarah. My home is an old farmhouse in the southern reaches of Snowdonia—a place where an overgrown, magical garden and a good dose of patience have become the heart of my work. Each autumn and spring, I sow and tend the plants that will later be gathered, dried and stored; by late summer the house is filled with hanging bundles of flowers, suspended from beams and brushing my partners head every time he walks past.
I love the slow, alchemical shift that happens in the drying process, it's one of my favourite bits. Petals softening into unexpected tones, seed-heads taking on sculptural lives of their own and foliage surprising me still with what dries beautifully (and what doesn’t).
While most of my making happens in the quieter months, my practice is truly year-round; the creative process is not just in the making, but in the sowing and tending too.
I craft each piece to carry memory, to be the manifestation of the magical process that brought us to this stage. The majority of the flowers I use are grown or foraged locally in the Dyfi Valley or grown by my mum.
Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to creating something beautiful for you.
