Sarah Wilmott is a silversmith and jeweller based in Glasgow—a recent graduate from The Glasgow School of Art and Bishopsland Educational Trust. Following a career in conservation and exhibitions at the National Library of Scotland, Sarah retrained in silversmithing and jewellery in 2019 after completing a series of evening courses in her spare time. Sarah’s previous role in repairing fragile archival collections has heavily influenced her current practice. Here, she honed her hand skills, developed her meticulous attention to detail and methodical approach to making. Her contemporary designs utilise traditional techniques, precious metals and industrial materials to create modern, thoughtful pieces. Sarah is a multi-award winner, receiving accolades from the Goldsmiths Craft and Design Council, New Designers, The Guild of Enamellers and The Incorporation of Hammerman. A South Square Trust bursary recipient, Sarah’s work has been exhibited internationally and toured across the UK.
