About

Sarah Loch-Test earned a B.F.A. in Studio Art with a concentration in jewelry, metals, and enameling from Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, and an M.F.A. in metal design from East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. Both institutions are well-regarded for their enameling programs, which Sarah was particularly drawn to and continues to incorporate into her work.

Sarah became the first studio apprentice at Contemporary Craft in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, formerly known as the Society of Contemporary Craft of Pittsburgh. Her experience living in Pittsburgh, a resilient post-industrial city, deeply influenced her metalwork. Her current work reflects her response to the impact of various industries on the environment and landscapes.

An avid trail runner, Sarah finds inspiration while running the trails in Texas, a state known for its oil and wind energy. Her work has been featured in the biennial exhibitions of the Enamelist Society in Norcross, Georgia, and is part of the permanent collection of the Enamel Foundation in Los Angeles.
