Permission to not be perfect. Sarah Hand talks play and color, working with our hands, and the tangible pursuit of happiness. And a new book!

Mar 31, 2021

This week Margo is joined by artist, illustrator, and teacher, Sarah Hand. Sarah teaches at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Visual Arts Center of Richmond, art retreats, and online. Her work has been featured in Somerset Studio magazine, and she has had many solo exhibits of her art. She is the author and illustrator of the book, Art Makers - Papier Mache: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating More Than a Dozen Adorable Projects!, from Quarto Creates.

 

Margo and Sarah discuss:

• How Sarah got into papier mache
• Why she finds paper mache to be a soothing art & craft
• The difference between the children and adults she teaches paper mache to
• Letting go of perfectionism
• Things that have kept her going throughout the pandemic
• Not being afraid to take time off or away
• And much more!

 

When she's not elbows deep in paste and paper, you can find Sarah painting, drawing, and dreaming up stories and images for picture books. Sarah lives and creates in Richmond, Virginia with her husband and their three-legged cat, Roger.
