Sarah Baudet

My name is Sarah Baudet and I create small sculptures from copper, wood and I also use aluminium.

I have always been interested in art and following being made redundant in 2016, after 34 years in the finance industry, I had the opportunity to follow a new path.

Many of my pieces are inspired by nature, my favourite makes are my mushrooms, they look good indoors or out. I also make animals, people, landmarks and anything else I fancy.

Each piece is unique, I use a template which I make myself, I cut out the metal using a piercing saw and when I heat the copper it will change colour. The exciting time is wondering what colour it will go!

I usually work in the shed every day, Monday to Friday, I try to have the weekends off unless I am doing a market. I enjoy the markets, meeting people and talking about my work, I hope you find it as interesting as I do!
