He studied at the Wakefield School of Art (1922-4), Leeds School of Art (1924-6) and the Royal College of Art (1926-9). He initially earned his living as a commercial artist, designing the Bird’s Custard label and patterns for upholstery in the London underground as well as illustrating several of the Janet and John books and Aesop’s Fables for Nisbet & Co.
Sanders taught for several years at the Harrow School of Art where he was Head of Painting and St. Alban’s School of Art.
