| HANNAH GLUCKSTEIN (1895-1978) |
This gem of a 1950s Artist's Studio is set within a secluded town garden in Steyning and is soon to be used as a venue during the Steyning Arts Festival.
With a pervading atmosphere of calm industry this building, little changed, was once the work place of Gluck.
Hannah Gluckstein trained at the St John's Wood School of Art from 1913-16 and then joined the artists' colony at Lamorna, Cornwall.
In 1918 she began to call herself 'Gluck' and took on the inimitable personal style for which we know her.
Her Gluck Frame was exhibited at British Art in Industry exhibitions, becoming an integral part of Modernist and Art Deco interiors of the 1930s.

Rough natural linen has been used to dress the large windows in simple pared-back style as curtains, pelmet and blinds; using the original mechanisms:

Richness of colour is added to a seating area to the left of the brick chimney piece, in the form of curtains in a velvet which takes its inspiration from a 1930s design:

A blind brings a splash of colour in the kitchen to suit the Smallbone kitchen (installed by the current owners some 20 years ago):
