I live in Kew and my studio is a five-minute walk to the Harp Village in East Kew,
both inner eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria.
 
For the past 14 years I have rented space for my studio above a retail store in my local ‘Harp Village’ shopping strip. 
​The spacious, north-facing room and enclosed verandah were part of the domestic living room belonging to the original shop, built in the early 1900’s.

Can't live without...
​Warm sunlight streaming into the studio during winter;
Several fans in summer (the upstairs space becomes very hot with no air conditioning);
Many pairs of sharp embroidery scissors and my collection of embroidery and lace;
Large walls I can pin into;
My “Wonder-boom” (Bluetooth portable speaker) for listening to Radio National, podcasts and music;
A supportive chair for when I’m sitting and extracting needlework from its linen support;
Taking regular breaks and doing my physio exercises, to strengthen and protect me from this painstaking, repetitive and obsessive work!

Louise I heard about you several years ago from Win Burgess. Brian was my cousin. And I believe you have had some connection with Walcha as well.

Yes your work is truly obsessive! Thank you for sharing with Glenys, also a dear friend of mine.

Dear Trudy
So sorry for my late reply. I did not see the comments when published on Fibrearts studio spaces. Yes I was born in Walcha and Win & Brian Burgess we’re dear friends of mum and dad their whole lives, even though we moved away to Sydney when I was six. What a small world. Mum passes away in October 21, and it was from her that my inspiration for textile came. Do feel free to reply via email to me on lousaxton@gmail.com. Best wishes Louise

Lovely work, just lovely (just checked your website). I bet the winter sunshine - and access to coffee shops in East Kew - is lovely. Thanks for sharing.

    Studio spaces

    Over the next few months there will be an email come into your box on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.
    It will be an artist’s studio.. a sanctuary for a creative.. with a short comment from the artist and things that they could not live without.
    Links will lead you to the workshop page where these creatives will teach for
    Fibre Arts Australia or to their social media links.

    Another initiative to keep us in touch from the Fibre Arts Team.
    ​
    If you enjoy ‘Studio Spaces’, consider sharing with a friend.
