Jack Frost working his magic at and Gardens. The gardens are looking incredible cloaked in a hoar frost and the light is just beautiful. If you’d like to pop by to talk classes or commissions, I’ll be open from next Tuesday. It’s always best to call or direct message me before popping by, just to make sure that I’m not out collecting a project or in Screwfix (lol). Although I’ll do my best to always put a note on the door as to when I’ll be back. There’s always the amazing hot drinks and food available at next door, while you wait, or if you miss me, there’s of course the lovely gardens which are definitely worth a stroll around. ❄️🤍 🌿
I’m in! Beautiful Bishton in the frost. ❄️ Classes start next Friday!
📍Here’s where you can find my studio from the main hall car park.
📦Lots still to do after picking up the keys last week.
Everybody’s been really lovely at Bishton and I can’t wait to get started.⛏️✂️🪡
Thank you to all my clients for both courses and commissions this year; your support is very much appreciated. I’m very grateful to everyone who has trusted me to restore or guide them with restoring their cherished furniture in the studio. Warmest wishes for the year ahead. Katie X

This 1950s slipper chair was a lovely final project to complete at my old studio. A family piece, ‘the old girl’ is such a lovely shape and the black Danset legs and brass feet are set-off brilliantly by the contemporary pattern and plain teal - by - which have a geometric, mid-century feel. A fantastic choice by the customer, to whom I’m really grateful that she entrusted her Aunty Ethel’s little chair, which I handed back on the day I handed over my studio keys. Before ➡️. I hope Aunty Ethel would approve of the new look! ✨💙
