Joyful, colourful, wearable designs made by hand etching, scoring, sanding, dying and polishing acrylic shapes.

​Inspired by Pop Art, Modernist Architecture and Mid-Century Design, Sarah designs and hand makes colourful dyed acrylic jewellery in her studio in Brighton. She studied Wood, Metal, Ceramics and Plastics BA (hons) at Brighton Polytechnic, graduating in 1991. Sarah’s colours of the ‘Weave’, ‘Seed’ and ‘Grid’ collections are inspired by mid-century textile designers such as Lucienne Day and Joanne Groag. She loves their joyful shapes and colour combinations. The black graphic shapes with a pop of colour of the ‘Balance’ collection reflect the influence of abstract artists including Mondrian and Miro.

Sarah endeavours to push the boundaries of what can be done with her chosen material. She experiments with textured surface patterns and innovative ways of joining components. Many of her designs have hand etched lines on clear acrylic which is dyed and polished back to reveal the coloured pattern. Sarah uses a laser cutter or bandsaw to cut out shapes from sheet acrylic, and hand makes all ear wires in silver. All designs are highly finished to give a precious feel.
