Sarah Burns

Material: Textiles | Location: West Sussex
Sarah Burns is a patternmaker and textile printer working in the South Downs with her partner Alice Garner. Together they hand block print textiles for interiors mostly using natural dyes which they forage for in the woods and fields around Steyning. Their work has featured in World of Interiors, Country Living and as part of the King’s Foundation celebration of British Craft and is supported by the Endangered Craft Fund.

Their patterns are inspired by the ancient churches and places on the South Downs, from where they draw their materials. Sarah is the author of the first monograph of 1930's Block Printers Phyllis Barron & Dorothy Larcher and together they have designed for the Dartington Trust, where they had their first solo show in 2023, The Virginia White Collection & Cloth Collective.
