About me
My name is Sarah Baumgartner, I am a Swiss Italian fibre artist living in London. I was born in 2002 Lugano, Switzerland, and moved to London to pursue studying Fine Art and History of Art at Goldsmiths, graduating in the summer of 2025.
Along with my studies and practice, I have started developing my business, Silly Hands, in crochet and knitwear design. I create one-of-a-kind pieces, as well as digital patterns which I sell online. I like to document my creative process on my Instagram and YouTube channel.
Throughout my education, I have participated in self-led exhibitions and have gained significant skills. Now, I am focusing on working with textiles and creating site-specific installations through arm knitting with materials I have dyed, currently working towards my degree show.
About Silly Hands
Along with my studies and practice, I have started developing my business, Silly Hands, in crochet and knitwear design. My fine art practice and my design work intersect in many ways, and are constantly informing one another.
Through Silly Hands, I create one-of-a-kind pieces, which I sold in a physical store in Shoreditch, London, as well as digital patterns which I sell online. I document my creative process on my Instagram and YouTube channel.
