“I create upholstered modern custom footstools using 100% natural and recycled materials; these pieces, simple and useful, are made for life, not landfill.
Noting that the footstools offer none of the corners that so frustrate upholstery newcomers, I thought that they made the perfect one day ‘make your own’ workshop and now run these monthly at The Paddock Art Studios, Lewes - people come, learn, make, and leave with their own footstool.
Originally trained as a prop maker at Central School of Speech and Drama, I fell into film marketing for years, before realising how much I missed making, so began training in traditional upholstery at Thomas Calton Centre, and then in more depth at The Good Life Centre, both in London. I run a ‘regular’ upholstery practice (re-covers, repairs, reupholstery) from my home workshop on Lewes High Street.
