About This Lister

We are Camilla Dely and Tatiana Kahvegian. We are a Costume and Scenic designer working in theatre and live performance. We have been in the studio since April 2025. We work with model making, fabric and textiles, drawing, collaging, some painting. We occasionally have assistants working with us in the studio or collaborators come over for creative meetings, but mostly it is just us in the studio. We both take care of the space and have deep respect for each other's creative practices, and are both committed to improving and investing in the space as a long-term creative home. We are ideally looking for some who would like to stay long term, but are open to fixed term sublet possibilities.
