Kenyon-Roberts Upholstery Traditional & modern upholstery services in Deeside, Aberdeenshire, plus handsewn lampshades To find the workshop.

As a certificated member of the Guild of Traditional Upholsterers, I specialise in traditional upholstery on antique furniture, but also undertake work on modern pieces too. The workshop is open by appointment only, please call or email to make an appointment. From the Square in Tarland, follow the road past the Commercial Hotel (with the Crafty Neuk on the left) for 0.7miles, you will then take a sharp left turn over a small bridge. Follow the road for a further 0.4mile till you reach a fork in the road signed West Davoch, take the right hand fork heading up hill. Follow this road for 0.8miles, you will see a sign for West Davoch & Middle Davoch , carry on straight past this sign & also the drive for Easter Davoch House on the right. The road then turns sharp right, you will see a small bothy on the right & the driveway for the workshop is immediately after the bothy, you will see a mill wheel on the side of the workshop, just before the entrance.

I've been looking forward to this project so much that I had to get started on it this week. How gorgeous is this House of Hackney velvet, and it feels even better than it looks!

If you think you need a bit of green snakeskin in your life, then you are in luck because this chair is now available to buy from me. Message me for further details, and please share this post to anyone who you think might like it 🐍😊

It's currently in my studio, which will be open from tomorrow, Saturday, 12th September, as part of NEOS ( north east open studios). I'm not taking part this year, but as I share my space with my husband Steve Kenyon-Roberts, we are open to show his pottery, we're also joined by Whinnyfold Knitwear and Jan Healy, artist.

Well, here it is, my final upholstery project for a client. I can't share the whole piece just yet, I'll do that once it is safely home with its owners. What a great project to finish on, a beautiful frame, gorgeous fabric, and a client who has just been a delight to work with. What more could I ask for?

I'll still be around,working on the odd piece for friends and family,making lampshades, and some chairs to sell, as well as carrying on with teaching for a while. Thank you to each and every one of you who has followed my upholstery journey here on social media and all of my wonderful clients and students over the years.

(Semi) retirement, here I come. If anyone fancies a coffee, lunch, or a walk, I'M FREE x

This made me smile so much when it landed in my inbox this morning. My lovely clients husband noticed that she was completely matching the lamp I made for her a while ago. Her smile in the pic really was as big as the emoji too. Hope it brings a smile to your face. 😁😁

Weaving traditional Ikat fabric, it was fascinating to watch, particularly the foot action. The silk warp is tie dyed first, then cotton ( but sometimes silk) is used for the warp. 1m of fabric takes 4 hours to weave, not including the preparation time. The cotton warp is used wet to ensure a very tight weave. So beautiful 😍
