Three quiet threadsWhat I’m working on

In the Studio

Making

Painting, printmaking and small ceramics. Botanicals, mudras, horizons, texture and slow observation.

Teaching

Leading

A small, stubbornly hopeful art department. Schemes of work, sketchbook prompts, thoughtful routines and pastoral care.

Personal Practice

Returning

Making space for attention, curiosity and unfinished ideas. Returning to materials and allowing the work to develop slowly.

Current Role
Head of Visual Art
School
Nord Anglia International, Shanghai
Experience
8+ years, ages 1–19
Curricula
Cambridge · Edexcel · IB DP · AP · BTEC

Sarah Adams portrait

Hello, I’m Sarah.

I’m a British artist and art educator currently based in Shanghai. Before teaching, I worked in graphic design and illustration in London, New York and San Francisco.

Today, I teach across secondary and post-16 pathways while maintaining a personal practice in painting, printmaking and ceramics.

This website brings together studio work, teaching resources and occasional reflections from the classroom.
