Beginners upholstery classes in a country workshop setting
Description
Beginners upholstery classes! Come and enjoy the weekly classes and learn new skills whilst having fun. Wednesday mornings from 10am to 12.30pm, or afternoons from 2pm to 4.30pm every week. Purpose-built bright workshop in the countryside with lovely views. You can do traditional upholstery with webbing, hessian, horsehair and calico, or you can make from new with modern foam and stapling techniques. Participants have tackled a huge range of projects such as re-covering dining chairs and footstools, making new footstools, new headboards, re-covering a screen, rebuilding occasional chairs, and refurbishing piano stools. Please note that availability may vary week to week depending on the number of participants. When you book I will phone you to discuss dates.

Maker
I have always enjoyed making things and teaching others so both the woodwork and upholstery workshops are a joy. I make footstools to commission, teach weekly upholstery classes and run the one day workshops once a month. Everyone enjoys coming to the classes and workshops and it's a lovely space in a countryside setting.
