With a professional seamstress for a mother and an uncle who was a Savile Row tailor, Sara was never far from fabric and sewing as a child. As an adult she honed her creative skills and worked as theatrical costume maker before establishing Brighton Fashion and Textile School to teach City & Guilds courses in quilting. Following this Sara trained as a quilt judge for the Quilters’ Guild of the British Isles before becoming focused on learning and researching Korean Bojagi.

Researching Korean textiles has inspired her to experiment with traditional narrow seams, creating irregular grids combined with transparency to evoke the feeling of light moving across the landscape. Sara attended the Korean Bojagi Forum in Seoul in Korea in 2016 which was a culmination of her research, study of museum pieces and learning with masters.

At the 2019 Festival of Quilts exhibition in Birmingham Sara was excited to be joined by a group of international textile artists in her gallery exhibition Transparency and Transition.  Bojagi by Sara Cook was released in August 2019, published by Batsford.

Sara joined us at AQC in 2023 and we’re delighted to welcome her back again following many requests.
