Steve Edge: Shaking Up the Establishment / 22nd March, 7 - 9pm
Guests are invited to join us over drinks to listen to the incredible and unusual life story of artist and designer, Steve Edge.
Steve Edge was raised in a hard-working family with two siblings and a pet chimpanzee. His father worked in Smithfield Meat Market, but was also an abstract sculptor and animal trainer. Steve inherited this creativity, and a bag of glitter, magic markers and plastic scissors have been his fundamentals for happiness since he was four years old.
At 15 he won the European Artist of the Year competition, catching the eye of one of London’s top design agencies who offered him a job as a result. He worked on films including Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark with George Lucas. In 1982 Steve established his own agency, Edge Design. Since then he has worked with some of the best-known names in the country, including Cartier, Dior, Skanska, Fortnum and Mason, Hamleys, Purdey Gun and Rifle Makers, and Essential Living.
