ARt ChaiRs: Sarah Skinner
I’m an artist and creative upholsterer inspired by the materials and skills of traditional upholstery. My work fluctuates between functional and non-functional: chairs are just part of the furniture – aren’t they …?
I’m fascinated by chairs: how they support us, what they absorb from us … and we all have hidden strengths, hidden sparks, but like the utilitarian upholstery materials I use, they are often hidden away.
I moved to my gorgeous new studio in Wirksworth earlier this year and can’t wait to welcome you into the historic Hopkinson’s House space as part of the Festival trail!
