a brief history of barry Harris studios
After several years in the retail industry, I began working for a clothing designer. I had
a good sense of proportion and an interest in the design process. While working for her, I learned to adapt, resize, and redesign patterns. Some of my responsibilities
included cutting out the newly redesigned patterns and hand finishing items. It was in
1989 that I next took a position as an apprentice with another slipcover cutter where I spent 9 years learning everything that I could to make quality, custom slipcovers. During this time I was fortunate to work side by side learning my trade from this very talented teacher. I moved to Texas for a brief period where I set up shop and continued working until returning to Baltimore. Upon returning, I established myself under my own company name and have been consistently busy ever since. I'm fortunate to have a long-standing client base that continues to grow and allows me to learn new techniques and designs to apply to my craft. I look forward to meeting new clients and designing products that make them happy and bring beauty into their homes.
