This week, it’s all about Sadie and her signature spirals! From intricate accents to bold designs, her creations have an instantly recognisable style.
Spirals might look simple, but nailing the perfect curve takes practice, precision, and a sharp eye. Sadie’s got it down to an art; her work is always a standout in the forge.
Which of her designs is your favourite? Let us know!
