Maker's bio

I live in Lewes, and have been running a furniture and textile business making simply designed contemporary pieces. One of those pieces, the birch wood footstool is an especial delight to make, it is simple, useful, light & beautiful. With none of the corners that so frustrate upholstery newcomers, I thought it made the perfect 1 day workshop experience. For after a ‘hard’ day learning, making, laughing, creating you get to take home and put your feet up on a foostool, and say “That was Rounded by Me’.

Bryony reviewed: 1 Day Bring Your Own Upholstery Project

"A brilliant day. Lots of support and advice from Lucy, both in terms of the projects we were focusing on, as well as more advanced methods. I learned a lot of skills and was so pleased with what we all achieved by the end of the day. Definitely booking another to try upholstering a couple of dining room chairs next time! "

Roundedby responded:

"Thanks Bryony! You brought such an interesting piece and it’s always great for students to learn some of the traditional basics like webbing (which you did so well!). I love how the personality of the stool was completely changed with the wonderful ochre mustard bird fabric you chose, something about the birds legs really mirrored the lovely turned legs on the stool - excellent choice! Yes! Come and do the dining chairs! Best - Lucy"

Diane Kammerling reviewed: 1 Day Bring Your Own Upholstery Project

"What a stimulating and great day of learning with Lucy. Right from the start Lucy was very warm and welcoming and you feel at ease. Huge learning curve but Lucy is with you every step of the way and I came away feeling very enthused in continuing my pathway in Reupholstery. Loved it and would recommend wholeheartedly. Would love to do more courses."

Roundedby responded:

"Oh Di, thank you - this has made me smile, I love it when people 'catch' the upholstery bug! Well done for working so hard on your footstool, it was certainly one of the more memorable "what do we think is inside?" discoveries! You did such a great job, and I love how the pattern sits on the loaf shape of the stool - hope to see you again! Lucy"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It was a brilliant course. Lucy was very patient and helpful. I learnt a lot of new skills and I’m delighted with my chair. It was great to see all the different projects transformed. I’m trying to give the course 5 stars but I can’t get it to work"

Roundedby responded:

"Oh that’s great to hear Kath - thanks so much for coming - well done for prepping your lovely chair ahead of the course - you worked so carefully and quickly, taking on so many new techniques - excellent webbing & a beautiful top fabric - well done!! Lucy "

Roundedby responded:

"Ah thank you Sue, It was such a fun day - I loved your chair, and how wonderful to work on something that your Dad had worked on before you - he clearly knew his stuff! Great choice of top fabric too - do hope to see you at another course! Thanks, Lucy"
