Sarah Beauclerk

Originally trained as a bespoke furniture designer in Nottingham. Her first concept piece, Chichi the Rocking Piano, was launched at Designersblock in London in 2007 and, following a 3-year tour, named one of 10 best piano re-designs by The Guardian. Subsequent pieces include Dorothy and Bramwell miniatures (exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art Milan), The Restoration Throne (shown at the Milan Museum of Science and Technology) and Hello Stranger, a story-table created for a six-month exhibition at Nhow Milano. A theme of exploring ways for humanity to live in harmony with and as part of Nature can be followed throughout her work. After many years of adventures working around the world with some of today's most exciting pioneers and lecturing as far afield as the National Academy of Fine Art in China, a move to Wales led Sarah to explore creative approaches to improving wellbeing. Her latest project involves creating immersive experiences for people with extreme healthcare needs including mental health and palliative and dementia care patients and unpaid carers. She currently lives close to Upton Castle with her husband, writer Charles Beauclerk, daughter Thea and collie dog Gwir.
