Curious Artists
Curious? is the working studio space of paper and textile artist, Sarah Manton. More widely, Sarah gathers together additional complementing artists, designers and makers under the Curious? banner to offer a wide range of creative workshops at an assortment of venues. Half-day taster workshops described as ‘Make, Take & Cake Days’, in-depth courses or one-off masterclasses. Details of our latest workshops can be found on our Instagram account.

I specialise in designing handcrafted papercuts (scherenschnitte) and lasercut artworks, creating bespoke commissions to commemorate significant events and milestones as well as portrait pieces of ‘heroes’ from the world of music, film and sport.

What our friends say about us
“I attended the Copper Embossing workshop at Curious? and loved it!
“Fantastic machine embroidery workshop, social, supportive and inspiring. Thank you, can't wait for the next!”
The tutor, Dawn, was wonderfully skilled and helpful and the venue was fantastic! I came away with two pieces - one made into a card and the other framed - which was a wonderful surprise and may mean that I actually display my work. The workshop was an excellent introduction to a new craft and I'm eagerly monitoring the Curious? website/Facebook to see what I can try next.”
“Really enjoyed the crochet workshop. Great pace, well explained, (I wasn't a natural but April had lots of patience) and a really enjoyable session. I'll be putting in lots of practice and then signing up to one of the other workshops in the future. Thank you!”
