About Sara Piper Heap
​
I work in metal. I love that when you hit it - it moves and when you heat it, it becomes easier to manipulate. I love that it can sparkle yet ages beautifully.
​
I make creations of a curious nature inspired by a statement made in jest, a resonating song lyric, a one-off event or even an everyday occurrence. Something hits me 'where I live' and I need to produce the scene that's in my head.
​
More recently in my work I am repurposing old metal objects such as chestnut or bed warmers, teapots, cutlery and various curios which clearly have had a past and I hope to give a future.
​
As a counterpoint to the rigidity of metal, I am enjoying the pliability of clay which is now beginning to feature in my mixed media pieces.
​
I hope you like them and that they make you smile.
