Blue Tit - Sarah Dodd textile
She has always had a passionate interest for free hand machine embroidery and for a long time enjoyed making machine embroideries as a hobby.
Woodpecker - Sarah Dodd textile
Sarah’s main passion in life is being environmentally-friendly, so she endeavours to make her pieces as eco-friendly as possible; using recycled card, and found and re-used fabric.
Robin - Sarah Dodd textile
She loves making things with fabrics that she finds all over the place, from old clothing to pieces picked up at car boot sales (bits of old envelopes to old felted jumpers).
Goldcrest - Sarah Dodd textile
Sarah makes all her creations in her studio at home, which is a horder’s paradise – filled with ribbons, buttons, and fabrics galore!
Kingfisher - Sarah Dodd textile
Nature is her source of inspiration, each piece Sarah creates is unique, a one off with its own personality, just like anything within nature, even if tried to replicate there will always be a slight difference.
Whitethroat - Sarah Dodd textile
Past work has included the study of lichens, rising damp and mould, Sarah loves to find beauty within natural forms that get over looked & make beautiful creations inspired by these natural occurrences to adorn our homes. Sarah is currently studying birds, drawn to them for their physicality: their movement, beauty and texture but also as a concern that bird populations are decreasing due to noise pollution. ’Birds of a feather, flock together’: hoping that by replicating birds people become more aware of and appreciate the birds that are taken for granted.
We also sell framed textile pieces of Sarah's lovely birdies
Sarah doesn’t want to have to imagine a land without birdsong and we totally agree. Do call in soon to see her mounted and framed pieces as I don’t think they will be around for long, they will fly!
