ABOUT
Welcome to our creative studio! We are a diverse group of artists, designers, and makers who come together to explore a variety of creative disciplines. Our studio is home to mixed classes, meaning we offer a range of classes that combine different artistic techniques and mediums.
Our classes are designed for individuals of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced artists. Our goal is to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone can express their creativity and learn new skills.
Some of the classes we offer include furniture restoration and creation, painting, printmaking and candle making.
In addition to our classes, we also host workshops and events that showcase the work of local artists and provide opportunities for our community to come together and connect over art and creativity.
At our studio, we believe that art has the power to inspire, heal, and bring people together. We are passionate about sharing our love of art with others and creating a space where everyone can explore their creativity and discover new possibilities.

Why buy from us?“We are all aware of the impact of climate change and the culture of disposable items, whether it be clothes or furniture, and how it affects our planet. In the past, craftsmen made furniture to last. Although it may not be the colour or style we desire today, at Restoration & Creation we restore products to their former glory and update them with modern colours, patterns, and textures. We love taking old and used furniture and creating unique pieces that can be added to your home either to fit in with your current décor or to be a centrepiece.”

Classes“Our biggest desire is that people come out for the evening, try something new, meet new people. We need each other, and more than ever, we need community. We aim to have a variety of classes for all ages, and all skills and talents. It’s about giving it a try and stepping out into new things. Is it about time you tried something new? If so, come join a class. We have a wide range of classes, sign up for regular details and a first look at what is coming up to reserve your space.”

Do you deliver?“Delivery to the UK is free for orders over £150. We would love to deliver abroad as well, but the current cost of shipping is too high. Once dispatched, your order will arrive within 2-3 days.”

I have furniture at home that I would love to give it new life, can you help?“If you have a piece of furniture that you would like to restore, we offer a few solutions. You can learn how to do it yourself by attending a class and working on your piece during the class. Alternatively, you can give your furniture piece to a professional who can restore it for you. The cost varies depending on the size, style, fabrics, and paints needed. You can discuss this with the professional at the time of booking.”

Do you do refunds?“Our products are custom made and therefore we do not offer refunds. However, if an item is faulty due to delivery, we will offer a replacement or refund. The time it takes to have an item custom made varies depending on whether the product is in stock or not. If the product is in stock, we aim to have your product ready 2-4 weeks after point of order. Please discuss your order with us and we will advise you at the time of order on the availability.”
