CASSIE BARWELL
Tailor and Artist
Cassie Barwell
Devon, England
I live in Totnes in Devon where I work from home as a bespoke tailor and artist. I'm a coat-maker and I work for a tailors in Cumbria.
I also love to paint and be creative in many ways, from photography and dance, to gardening and designing. This website is a portfolio of my work.
I graduated with a Degree in Costume design at Bournemouth Arts Institute. I then worked in London, learning the trade on the notorious Savile Row. Timothy Everest in the East End of London then sharpened my skills even further with an amazing tutor and still beloved friend. London was a lot of fun in my 20's and it was THE place to gain wonderful tuition in my field. After five years in London, I decided a new and greener chapter awaited.
I have lived here in Devon for seven years now. Working from home, in the countryside, in a small community, has been such a blessing. Born in Brighton, I was used to the sea and city life, but Dartmoor and the rugged coasts of Devon are really a dream.
I live with my husband Johan who has a shop in town, Delphinis, making Italian-style gelato all summer. I often pop by for breakfast with him before starting my work day.
I adore gardening and grow my own vegetables in a few veg patches and greenhouse in my garden.
My garden has inspired many of my paintings with the various flowers and wildlife that visit.
This website is a portfolio of the various work I do and a way to contact me if anything is of interest to you.
