[citation needed] In 1974, Hall enrolled in the Creative Arts Department at Sheridan College where stained glass was offered as one of the classes.
Hall's studies were completed with a year in Jerusalem researching Middle Eastern techniques in glass, particularly the art of gold leafing.
[citation needed] In 1990, the growing number of commissions necessitated another move to her own studio – a 3000 square foot space in an old General Electric factory at 1440 Dupont Street in Toronto.
Several craftsmen assisted Hall in her work including John Wilcox, Rosiland Sokolosky, Harold (Hap) Straker and William Lindsay.
Towards the end of this period, Hall worked with craftsmen at Sattler Stained Glass Studio in Nova Scotia to facilitate larger projects.
The first demonstration of PV technology was the "Northern Light" project co-ordinated by Concordia University at the Solar Decathlon in Washington, DC in 2005.
Hall’s most extensive solar project has been the monumental south windows entitled "Lux Gloria" at The Cathedral of the Holy Family in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
This is one of the sunniest cities in Canada with over 2268 hours of sunlight per year, and with more than a thousand solar cells in this installation, the Cathedral provides power to the electrical grid.
In addition to bringing third generation photovoltaics (organic solar cells) into architecture, she is looking for ways to mitigate the worldwide problem of bird strike.
In 2019 Sarah Hall was appointed to the Order of Canada in recognition of her lifelong contributions as an architectural glass artist and for her technical innovations.
In 2018, the project records of Sarah Hall Studio were acquired by the Baldwin Collection of Canadiana, located at the Toronto Reference Library.
