This Art Nouveau fabric is a perfect match for this early 20th century rocker. Beautiful choice by Liz for her chair, which she is completing during the Saturday morning class in the studio. 🤍

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. ❄️🤍 🌿

Everybody’s been really lovely at Bishton and I can’t wait to get started.⛏️✂️🪡

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! ✨💙
