It isn’t unusual for a passer-by to mistake the home of the British artist Sarah Kaye Rodden for a shop.
“I have to tell them that this is my home, and then they back away sheepishly,” says Kaye Rodden, 48.
Kaye Rodden bought the three-story 2,200-square-foot home nine years ago with her husband, John Rodden, 47, an executive at the film production company Studio Canal UK.
Kaye Rodden, who comes from several long lines of makers — her paternal great-great-grandfather was a tanner and harness maker; her maternal grandfather was a carpenter — also wanted to set up a studio.
In 2012, after working for years alongside acclaimed British designers including Thomas Heatherwick, Ilse Crawford and Faye Toogood, she began focusing on her own multidisciplinary art practice.
