Sarah Stafford

From Goldsmith of 20 years, to designer of precision laser-cut wall panels’ Sarah Stafford has transferred and developed her metalworking skills, from the miniature to the large-scale.

A Jewellery & Silversmithing graduate of The Cass, she has based her collections on the themes of repetition, geometry and how the tiniest, most insignificant parts can create complex and strong, balanced forms. Plant cells, microbiology and geometry all play a part in the development and design of her work, and her pieces are executed with precision, skill, and attention to detail. Her jewellery collections have been exhibited in galleries in the US, Japan and across Europe. She creates unique, bespoke fine jewellery and is expert in redesigning and remodelling unworn heirlooms.

A commission in 2014 from renowned corporate art curator, Tom Tempest-Radford for P&O's flagship liner Britannia, saw Sarah Stafford's work transformed to an altogether new level, and brought her work into the realm of large-scale decorative architectural metalwork and installations; 22 large artworks now hang in the Peninsular Restaurant aboard ship.

She utilises the skills of local engineering companies in combination with her own metalworking experiences and craftsmanship to create her new, vibrant collections of decorative panels, room partitions and lighting installations. She is happy to work to commission.

At Future Heritage

For Future Heritage Sarah Stafford made a series of laser-cut steel wall pieces, plus a water-jet cut table with a turned oak base made by Benchmark.

“I collaborated with Benchmark to produce my table and following on from Decorex, was invited to take part in a combined show at Vis a Vis. It was really nice to hang out with Corinne Julius for a few days.” Sarah Stafford
