We will be closing the studio to visitors on 6th & 7th September.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Hello Everyone,

It is with a deeply heavy heart that we share devastating news with you.

On Wednesday 29th July, not far from home, our beautiful and incredibly talented daughter Ava was taken from us in a car accident. Our family is completely heartbroken by this sudden loss.

As we navigate this profound grief and focus on supporting one another, Kate and Stephen will be taking some time away.

The Studio is open and full of colour and light; Dave and Peter will be here to welcome you.

We know many of you have been with us a long, long time and have watched Ava and Finlay grow. We will share details of Ava’s celebration of life in due course and all will be welcome.

So many of you have kindly asked how you can show support. In Ava's honour we will be establishing a memorial fund to celebrate her life and her legacy in hair and makeup in film and television. Details will be shared as soon as possible.

We kindly ask for your patience, understanding, and grace regarding any delayed response times or adjustments to our usual work over the coming weeks.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your ongoing support, warmth and kindness during this unimaginably difficult time.

With our warmest regards

Kate, Stephen and Finlay

With the furnace off for summer and another few days of wonderful summer weather to enjoy, we are pleased to say it's cooler inside our building that out!

That doesn't happen often!

Kate will be opening her private studio to visitors this weekend as part of the North Yorkshire Open Studios. 

There you can see her working methods, materials and tools that allow her to work the surfaces of the unique, layered and coloured blown glass pieces Stephen makes.

Look forward to seeing you.

We’re delighted to share our celebration of spring, inspired by the garden aristocrat—the Magnolia.

The Magnolia’s fleeting beauty, with its sculptural, sumptuous blooms, has been a joy to study. One of the first trees to flower in spring, this ancient species—dating back over 65 million years—carries a rich history, quiet resilience and rich symbolism.

Our design is inspired by the Magnolia tree at Lastingham Grange Hotel, where we’ve spent time sketching and photographing its buds and blooms, often accompanied by an afternoon tea.

in a limited edition of 75 small and 25 large pieces.

The Magnolia tree at Lastingham Grange is finally in full bloom. She is stunning.

Bertie & Tom, the magnificent hosts at the Grange have been very welcoming as I take time to photograph and draw the blooms, whilst of course enjoying tea on the sunny terrace.

Work on the first limited edition bowl of 2026 is almost finished.

Stephen has made the bowls in a deep warm pink glass and the design is almost settled ready for launch on April 30th.
