Inside The Workers Cottage

Your Home & Garden visited our Nelson studio to talk renovations, photography, and the art of collecting.

Meet the Curator | Chrissy Irvine

The Workers Cottage is founded by fine-art photographer Chrissy Irvine.

With a background in Fine Arts and documentary photography, Chrissy approaches vintage with a photographer's eye. Her philosophy is simple: she only sources items she would have in her own home.

She looks past the clutter to find pieces with distinct personality - focusing on texture, form, and the kind of craftsmanship that is becoming harder to find.
