Find your Passion. Do what brings you Joy….
Sarah Garrard started her love affair with Glass in 2000 when she apprenticed in a small glass art studio in the hill country of Texas. She went on to study glass formally at Sheridan College where she majored in Craft and Design. Upon graduating from Sheridan in 2005, glass took Sarah to Honolulu, Hawaii where she worked with adolescents at the prestigious Punahou School while assisting Glassblowers around the Island and continuing to focus on her own body of work.
The crash of 2008 led Sarah back to the mainland where she spent the next decade focusing on academia and healthcare while she specialized in Emergency Medicine as a Registered Nurse.
In 2020 Sarah returned to the hot shop with the urge to create again. She finds inspiration in nature and patterns, culture and diversity, music and art. Focusing on technique and tradition she continues to apply contemporary aesthetic through the use of colors and patterns while exploring the optical versatility of glass.
Sarah lives and works in West Asheville, NC where she and her husband, Michael, are raising their three young children, a flock of chickens, two hamsters, two dogs and a cat :-) Life is good
