English Artist, Sarah Madsen attended Central Saint Martins School of Art &
Design in London, England. There she gained a BA Hons Degree in Jewellery
Design. This interest in 3D Design was quite a different direction from her
first love of Fine Art. The Desire to follow figurative art has been a constant
theme throughout her life as an artist. In 1992 the artist received a Travel
Bursary from The Royal Society of British Sculptors on a Medal Design. She has
also exhibited at various locations such as the Mall Galleries in London,
Silvermine Art Centre in Connecticut and also at Steven Whyte Figurative
Sculpture Studio in Carmel, California, USA. After 12 years of living in various
locations in the USA. Sarah returned to the U.K in 2013 and started her business
"Sarah Madsen Jewellery." “It all started from drawing, always drawing. This all
eventually lead to starting my Jewellery business from the kitchen table. (With
a family of 4 children, you can only imagine, I grew quickly off the idea of
mealtimes.) To thankfully now, a full Jewellery workshop/garden studio in the
wilds of Cambridgeshire. Raw materials are transformed by using traditional
metalworking techniques such as hammering, filing, stone setting, wax carving
and soldering. I create every single item by hand. Pursuing an organic, floral
and figurative style. I'm always trying to create a classic or "living feeling"
piece (such as the Tiaras.) My aim is to bring quality and design together, to
produce carefully crafted Jewellery work that is of heirloom and artistic merit.
I feel extremely proud that I'm able to be part of the importance of keeping our
skills as craftsmen alive here in the U.K. "
