Sarah King is an established jeweller specialising in mixing precious and non-precious materials in jewellery and using them to make sculptural and tactile pieces. Her favourite techniques involve carving and casting in a range of materials as these allow for working spontaneously and changing the forms as the pieces progress. She has sold her work through department stores such at Liberty and Barneys, New York and the art jewellery gallery Jewellers' Werk Galerie in Washington DC. Since the turn of the millenium she has been experimenting with cast bioresin and was recognised as pioneering sustainable plastics . These works are in many International public and private collections (including Crafts Council and the British Council), and has featured in many books on contemporary jewellery. She has won the Association of Contemporary Jewellery Prize and several Goldsmiths' Craftmanship and Design Awards. She has taught specialist classes in plastics, wood and silver jewellery for over 20 years, currently at Central St Martins, Forge, Institute of Making and Morley College. In 2019 she published her first book 'Creating Jewellery in Wood' reassessing wood as a contemporary jewellery medium. For 16 years she was based in the innovative makers hub Cockpit Arts in Bloomsbury, London and now lives and works in Lewes, East Sussex.
