We’re looking forward to a busy summer of fairs, exhibitions and workshops, and would love to see you along the way.

This spring, we’ll be displaying a selection of our rush-seated furniture at the Chelsea Barracks Spring Fair in London — a celebration of contemporary craftsmanship, design and artisanal work.

We’ll be showcasing examples of our traditional rush seating alongside pieces that highlight the materials, techniques and restoration methods at the heart of our practice.

Nevill Holt Festival

13th June 2026

We’re very pleased to be joining the craft line-up at this year’s Nevill Holt Festival, where we’ll be exhibiting in a pavilion alongside Soane Britain, who will be demonstrating rattan weaving, and Stonecraft, specialists in traditional and conservation stone masonry.

Throughout the day, we’ll be showcasing examples of antique restoration alongside new designs featuring our rush seating, as well as demonstrating traditional rush weaving techniques and discussing the processes behind our work.

The festival offers a celebration of craftsmanship, design and heritage skills in the setting of the beautiful Nevill Holt estate, and we’re delighted to be part of this year’s programme.

We’re delighted to be joining Stamford Makers’ Week this June.

During the week, we’ll be running a hands-on rush seating workshop where participants can learn the traditional craft of rush seat weaving and create their own rushed milk stool to take home.

Workshops at Our Studio

Alongside our events programme, we’re currently developing a series of small-group workshops and courses to be held at our own workshop later this year.
