Sarah Woodruff is a lifelong Bay Area artist whose work is rooted in handcraft, storytelling, and the simple joy of keeping her hands busy. Her creative journey began as a teenager working at a local bead shop (paid in store credit, naturally) and has unfolded over decades of jewelry making, teaching, performing, and creative exploration.

As the artist behind Lion and Lamb Studios, Sarah creates bold, soulful jewelry, including her much-loved Big Ass Rings, using a mix of traditional metalsmithing techniques and intuitive, trial-and-error processes. After building a home studio, she deepened her practice through formal metalsmithing studies and quickly found her creative home back at the bench.

At Alameda Gallery & Collective, Sarah’s work extends beyond jewelry. In addition to her signature adornments, you’ll find a rotating selection of her other artwork available in the shop, offering a broader glimpse into her creative world. Throughout the year, Sarah will also be leading hands-on classes at the Gallery, sharing her skills, process, and love of making with the community.

Beyond the studio, Sarah is a singer in the band Rattletone, bringing the same heart and presence to music that she brings to her visual art. She’s a devoted mom to Ruby, partnered with a wonderfully supportive husband, deeply obsessed with her dog, and fueled by creativity, connection, and the magic of making things that find their perfect home.
