Sarah Pitcher

Bishopsland Fellow 2022-2023

Inspired by a love of exploring ancient places and reading fantasy novels, Sarah infuses themes of abstract imagination and curiosity into her silversmithing. Her work uses complex forms and tactility to create functional yet dreamlike objects, rich in detail and mystery.

The making process brings her enjoyment and is central to her practice. She relies on traditional metalworking techniques such as raising, repoussé, and soldering to handcraft every piece. She believes that the marks left by a human hand give a piece its heart, and the marks it gains during a lifetime of use give it a soul.
