Sadie Clayton graduated from Kingston University in 2013 with a BA Honors Fashion Design. Fascinated by design and innovation, Sadie took these foundations to explore the creative boundaries between art, technology and fashion presenting her Spring /Summer 2017 collection at the Royal Academy of the Arts in holographic form in collaboration with MHD holograms, and presenting her working process with copper through Augmented Reality for her Spring/Summer 2018 collection.

Sadie has showcased and demonstrated the art of working with copper metals as a part of the Nick Waplington / Alexander McQueen: Working Process exhibition at the Tate Britain, lead several workshops at the Tate Modern for Late at the Tate and at the Ace Hotel as part of London Craft Week 2019.  Sadie started to take her creativity away from the confines of the body and released herself as a creator and innovator debuting her copper wearable art at Art Basel Miami at the Red Dot Gallery, and later at the Museum of Art and Design as part of Singapore Design Week. 

Sadie is inspired by headspace and our holistic journey, and the power of art, combined with her signature material copper to have a positive mental affect. As the Covid 19 pandemic meant less opportunities to express creativity physically Sadie spent 2020 exploring the virtual art world. Creating 3 digital works, with collaboration from Ai-Da, she illustrated how nature had been revealed without ‘human pollutants’.  

Embraced by the art world as a creator and innovator unique to the UK scene, Sadie was interviewed by BBC Radio 4 on their Only Artists programme, with Ron Arad the renowned industrial designer, artist and architect, about her perspective on what it means to be an artistic fusion with no creative boundaries, created a video for the Art Fund for the V&A museum exhibition of Frida Kahlo, and spoke about her creative journey at the Royal Academy of the Arts exhibition on Anthony Gormley.  Sadie also curated the ING Discerning Eye exhibition in November 2018 and created the 2018 copper Christmas tree for The Ivy Granary Brasserie drawing significant national and international acclaim. Sadie was also selected to create a cube for the cure3 exhibition at Bonhams, curated by Artwise. 

Not only has Sadie had a voice in the Art world but is often called upon to speak at events around race and the ability that art has to impact the conversation for the positive and to not only draw attention to the situation but to free the issues of inherent racism in a very traditional environment by supporting and listening to young female artists such as herself.
