Katzinka Tschierschy

It has been a few years since Katzinka last opened her studio to the public but she is back!

Above are some images of her work.

Sarah Coombes, Shoemaker

Sarah Coombes embraces the notion of luxury that comes from the rarer artisan produced items that are made by hand, with skill and care.  A perfect example is a handmade shoe.  Shoes are handmade to order, with a size range of 36-45, to include the lady with a larger size foot who is endeavouring to find beautiful footwear.
Sarah will be opening her studio to the public during this years open studio event Floor 5 Studio 17.

Ellinor Mazza Designer

Ellinor Mazza
