days:
I am a master upholsterer and furniture restorer with over 20 years experience. I have a studio in a beautiful renovated chapel where I carry out commissions and run regular upholstery, wood restoration and soft furnishings courses.
I also produce one of a kind upholstered pieces. These are mostly antique frames with some mid century and a smattering of things made from scratch. I like to create things that stand the test of time both in style and wear.
We also take on upholstery commissions, so if you have something that needs doing or something bespoke you would like designed and made, we can help you with all of it.
Chairs aren't just something we sit on, they're where we curl up with our favourite book, a place to read to children, where we feel at home and they're a thing of beauty.....never underestimate the many uses of a good chair!

Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere. ...
