at a fold of chairs

This September we’re taking part in Herts Open Studios with our exhibition Anatomy of a Chair. Caroline will be working in the shop window throughout the month, sewing, restoring, and sharing the craft that goes into each piece of furniture. It’s an open invitation to step inside, ask questions, and see the process up close.

artist spotlight

As part of this, we’re are spotlighting local artists each week. First up is Rosie Barker, whose still life and portrait paintings explore beauty in the everyday. Rosie trained under James Gillick and, after time working in PR, has returned to painting full-time. Her work combines classical techniques with a contemporary sensibility, and we’re thrilled to feature her in the shop this month.
