Location
Studio 14 Star Brewery Lewes - Star Brewery, Lewes
Studio 14, Star Brewery, Lewes BN71YJ is a ground floor studio, in the heart of Lewes with paid parking close by and just five minutes walk from the Station. If travelling by car you will be able to park up temporarily outside of the studio to collect your headboard at the end of the workshop. How do I get there? Lewes is on the Southern Railway Network with regular trains to & from Brighton (15 mins) and London Victoria (1hr 10m) and also the 28/29 Bus Route. Is there parking? Paid parking is available throughout Lewes, and, as you would expect, is cheaper in the car parks than on street, the closest are The Maltings & the Needlemakers, but there are several within a short walking distance. Parking is free in all paid on street bays and car parks in Lewes on a Sunday & overnight, and on Saturdays parking is £1 at County Hall (10 mins walk from the Star Brewery)
Your teacher
I am a designer maker living and working in East Sussex.I produce modern upholstered footstools. Useful objects, made well.My practice is informed by the idea that “If you can’t fix it, you don’t own it”.Alongside regular upholstery jobs (recovers, repairs, reupholstery), I run Rounded by. making & selling upholstered birchwood modern footstools; using 100% natural & recycled materials, these pieces are made for life, not landfill.With none of the corners that so frustrate upholstery newcomers, I thought the Footstools made the perfect 1 day workshop experience and now run these monthly at The Paddock Studios, Lewes and as a guest tutor further afield. Folk come, learn, laugh, make & leave with their very own footstool.I trained as a Prop Maker at Central School of Speech & Drama, and on graduation worked in Theatres & Festivals including The Young Vic, Stephen Joseph Theatre & Edinburgh Fringe. I fell into marketing films, working at Universal and then Paramount Pictures for years, before realising how much I missed making, so began training in traditional upholstery at the Thomas Calton Centre, and then in more depth at The Good Life Centre, both in London.Three things I know : Never underestimate the power of a biscuit. Measure twice, cut once. It's risky wearing flip flops in the workshop.
