Meet Sarah Bowen:
Sarah Bowen is an artist and educator based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her polymer clay art business, Tiny Things by Bowen, has been a staple of the Tulsa art scene since 2014; bringing you colorful gnomes, miniature foods, nerdy collections, and thousands of unique handmade magnets. Since taking her art full time in 2017, her job description has expanded considerably to include coloring book illustrator, jewelry designer, Patreon creator, art instructor, private party entertainer, event organizer, and constant “content” creator!
Sarah’s passion for teaching stems from her background in education (8 years as an Educational Sign Language Interpreter) which uncovered her natural talent in working with kids, as well as a vastly lacking arts landscape in schools. Becoming a guest instructor for the public school systems has opened up a whole new world of possibilities- inspiring an ever-expanding list of lesson plans, as well as the addition of social-emotional learning into her elementary classes.
Sarah knows that creativity is in everyone, and that crafting something small is the perfect way to draw it out. Tiny Things classes were founded on the belief that by introducing such a versatile medium and by encouraging participants to make something tiny, the stress of perfection is removed, and makers feel the freedom to have fun and be creative! The goal of her public drop-in events is to bring art to where people already are, and remind everyone of their creative potential! (Especially the people who say they don’t have any!)
PS- You can call her Sarah, or Bowen, she responds to both!

The experience was so enriching and positive! Our kids felt seen and celebrated during their time with Sarah. The students got to learn about different emotions and their matching sign language, then they translated those feelings by drawing monsters while being introduced to color theory. Next, they were able to process ways to calm themselves when they got upset or scared by giving them to their monster. Thank you, Sarah for pouring your talent, fun personality, and wisdom into our kids.
