Tired Starling Studio
Bickley, Kent
Tired Starling Studio is an independent, eco-conscious brand that brings together creativity and mindfulness. I’m Katie Wells, the designer and maker behind it, creating embroidery kits, hand-painted candles, and stationery designed to spark self-expression and bring a little calm to your day.
At Tired Starling Studio, I believe in thoughtful design, sustainability, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome. Whether you’re journaling in a notebook, mastering embroidery, or lighting one of my hand-painted candles for a moment of calm, each item is crafted to enrich your well-being and encourage individuality.

The story behind the business
Meet Tired Starling Studio
I started Tired Starling Studio to share my passion for crafting as a way to slow down and reconnect. What began as an exploration of embroidery in 2014 has grown into a love for creating beautiful, meaningful items that encourage creativity and individuality. Each product is designed with care, crafted in small batches, and made to inspire.
Embroidery has been a constant in my life, helping me soothe my busy, neurodivergent mind while offering a moment of focus and relaxation. As a queer artist and maker, self-expression is at the heart of what I do, whether that is through design, craft, or the way I shape my life and business.
My work is inspired by nature, travel, and the freedom to create on my own terms, and I hope to encourage others to explore that same creative independence.
