Maker's bio

Originally starting out on my creative journey making rustic style wirework jewellery, I further developed my art skills to include folk art painting, dot mandala work, block printing, and folk art style felt designs. I have taught adults for many years within the NHS and university settings, earning a post graduate teaching qualification for adults along the way. I now enjoy teaching in a more relaxed atmosphere specialising in courses and workshops for adults. I run my workshops in Cumnor, Oxfordshire. I am also the creator and organiser of Crafty Boaters Handmade Markets in Lechlade-on-Thames

Sara Coutts reviewed: Introduction to copper wire and bead jewellery 1 day course

"A truly lovely day spent aboard a warm and cosy narrowboat with a fabulous welcome by Sarah & Martin. The course was great fun and Sarah is a very patient and excellent teacher, who took us through the basics for creating necklaces, earrings and pendants, and as we progressed introduced us to more complex techniques. I thoroughly enjoyed my day, which was both productive and relaxing, and a truly lovely way to spend time with friends. I was amazed at how quickly the time went and what we managed to achieve in the time. I am looking forward to the next course making Christmas Decorations."

The Crafty Boater responded:

"Thank you, glad you enjoyed the day. Looking forward to seeing you on the next course."
