She then attended the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina with the accreditation as Core Student, Ceramics from 1989-1990. From 1991-1992, she attended the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as Resident Artist, Ceramics and then in 1997, Sarah earned a Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

 Sarah says of her work, "I try to react to each stage of my work. While building or throwing a piece, my focus is making a solid form--one that has good bones. As the clay dries to a leather-hard condition, each piece is transformed into a canvas. I draw on the surface, using studio plants as models. In carving, I refine the drawing and accentuate tensions in the pot's form. I am interested in the way a leaf and stem can wrap around a form, the way a pattern can re-form an underlying carving."

  Sarah Heimann created the "Covered Bowl With Chair Knob" from 06 white stoneware in 2001. Sarah Heimann resides in Lebanon, NH.
