Sterling Studios offer a myriad of techniques combining modern paints and resins in unexpected ways, from flat or raised to hand-painted, antiqued, printed and modern styles. Restoring antique leather rooms and creating reproduction leather paneling inspired Sterling Studios founders to create new techniques with which to raise, patinate and decorate leather and paper for ceilings, walls and furniture. Sterling Studios skill and creativity have helped bring to life the work of industry professionals including Alidad, Joanna Wood, Todhunter Earle, Terence Disdale, Sagrada, Nicholas Haslam and Anna Owens.
Francois Lavenir and Fiona Sutcliffe combined as Founders in 2003, to build on their previous successes in antique restoration, design and painting.
