Workshop Details:
Saturday 1st June 2:00pm - 4:00pm
Instructor: Caroline, Joy Revival Design Studio
Caroline has always loved colour and textures. She studied upholstery and the School of Master Upholsterers and Soft Furnishing in Stirling before setting up her own business making upholstered boxes, lampshades, and seaglass jewellery - always full of colour and usually using repurposed materials. The ethos of Joy Revival Design is to create beautiful items that are kind to the planet.
Living by the sea in Portobello, and walking her dog Lola by the beach daily, her designs are often inspired by the vast ever changing sky and water, from the inky blue and green sea to the rolling hills in the distance and its contrast with the flat ocean (on a calm day!) It can also be the smallest thing that inspires her, from the the patterns the cracks make in the sea wall, or the swirls in the peebles on the beach.
NB: The workshop and toilet of Leith Makers is located on the first floor of the building, up a small flight of stairs.
