I can reupholster your furniture, make cushions, blinds, and more! see below.
creative workshops & design service to promote individual expression
In the past, if you wanted home furnishings, you were stuck with what you could find for sale in shops; Individual expression was limited. With the services I provide, I aim to remove these constraints. With my experience in reupholstering, I can revitalize your furniture with either a design of your own or one I can assist you in realising. Or, I can make you custom blinds, cushions, curtains – and more – from scratch! The nature of printing also means we are not limited to one material; the same design can be applied to many types of textile.
From time to time I make my own bespoke products, available on my eBay or on the Shop page on this site.
I am a textile designer specializing in print. I have worked in the leisure industry where, as a team we made mainly
chairs, banquettes and stools for bars and hotels. I have also worked in partnership to make curtains, blinds and soft furnishings. Alongside this, I have taught these skills to others in creative workshops and in educational settings as an Art & Design Teacher.

I've been working on some new skills with Photoshop! Check out my half-drop repeat of a blue Thrush and Hare design - originally a lino cut - in the showcase.
