Sarah Vigars
Sarah Vigars | Jewellery | Devon
Sarah is a woodcarver and lover of wildlife. Her diverse creations include marionettes, jewellery, sculpture, and anything else she can fashion from wood.
Sarah’s work is meticulously hand-carved and hand-painted, using non-toxic, eco-friendly wood dyes and stains.
As a woodcarver, the careful workmanship she has developed owes a great deal to a studied handling of tools and a good deal of patience, not to mention a dedicated eye for her subjects.
By being in nature, walking the moorlands, fields and coastline of Devon (and beyond), Sarah takes inspiration from animals, plants, birds and beasts in their natural habitats.
Sarah originally trained in theatre design, which is where her love of puppetry first began. She learnt to carve while working for children’s puppet company Puppetcraft, mentored by puppet carver John Roberts.
