Sarah PackingtonSarah was born in London in 1969 and has been designing and making acrylic jewellery in Brighton since graduating in 3D design from Brighton Polytechnic in 1991.
She strives to use acrylic in an innovative and personal way, finding new ways to give a potentially cold, mass produced material a precious hand worked feel. Drawn to interesting textures, colours and patterns in ceramics, textiles, paintings, architecture and in nature, Sarah likes simple, light and joyful shapes in strong colours. "I enjoy playing with the properties of clear dyed acrylic: light, reflection, and strong colour. I hand manipulate the surface using etching, sanding, dying and polishing, and use contrasts of polished/matte and colour/clear to add interest." |
