Marches Makers Festival Artist 2022
Sarah Amatt
Exhibiting at No 9 Church Road
Demonstrating the art of Suminagashi in the Market Hall, Saturday 10.30am-12.30pm
Sarah is a suminagashi artist and maker. A preference for simple, elegant, pared-back images and a love of paper and ink has inspired her work with Japanese marbling. She trained as a bookbinder then researched and taught herself Turkish paper marbling which became a successful business.
After a career detour as a counsellor she now works with various washi and Western papers, crafting both traditional and contemporary designs some of which end up as lampshades, others as framed prints and the rest make their way to the workshops of bookbinders and artisans.
