Hello, I’m Sara Sherriff
Artist, doll maker and creator of Wildwood
I help people reconnect with creativity through storytelling, stitching and doll-making.
For over twenty years I have been creating dolls and cloth characters inspired by storytelling, folklore and the quiet magic of handmade things. Alongside my own work, I teach others to discover the pleasure of creating beautiful things in a relaxed and encouraging way.
My work brings together storytelling, stitching and imagination. I help people step away from the pressures of everyday life and reconnect with their own creativity and the satisfaction of making something slowly and joyfully by hand.
What begins as a piece of cloth can become a character, a story or a treasured keepsake. More importantly, the act of creating can bring focus, calm and a renewed sense of possibility.
Whether you’re here to discover my dolls, learn a new skill – or simply find inspiration for your own creative journey, I’m delighted you’re here.
