Eyestyle Studio Residency

A limited series of one-to-one styling sessions

From Studio to Residency

Eyestyle Studio grew as a permanent space on Bank Street, Rawtenstall - built around a more considered way of choosing eyewear.

Appointments were booked months in advance. Clients travelled in from all over the UK. It worked.

But the work had started to grow beyond the space; into writing, industry projects, and shaping how eyewear is experienced more widely.

That writing now lives as Eye Style - a weekly optical industry journal.

So the studio closed.

Now it returns differently - as a series of short, in-person residencies.

NEXT RESIDENCY - MARCH 2027

You know the drill. Eyewear that turns heads, frames you didn't know you needed and zero ordinary.

Appointments released in advance. Subscribers hear first.

Don't miss it. I mean it. You blink, you miss.

Meet your Stylist.

As a qualified Dispensing Optician, award winning Eyewear Stylist and real glasses geek, I understand just how challenging it can be finding unique eyewear that really suits your face, style and personality.

At Eyestyle Studio you get the glasses styling advice you've been looking for from someone that knows how. No more searching through frames that all look the same, or listening to a salesperson say, "they look nice" (when you know they don't).

Even though I live at the other end of the country from Rebecca, I got the most amazing service from her. I wasn't sure how a distanced Styling Session would work, but it's brilliant.
