Description
Fun friendly make and take workshop making an upholstered cork pinboard - you will learn to use some simple uphlolstery tools and techniques to create your own unique ready to hang 60cm (diameter) pinboard (memoboard, corkboard, noticeboard, office tidy, home study wall art ... I don't mind what you call it, but it will definitely be fabulous!). We work with sustainable, recycled and revalued materials. This one is the perfect gift for coffee lovers, or those wanting a quick and easy dive into upholstery - everyone goes home with their own creation - useful objects, made well.

Maker
I live in Lewes, and have been running a furniture and textile business making simply designed contemporary pieces. One of those pieces, the birch wood footstool is an especial delight to make, it is simple, useful, light & beautiful. With none of the corners that so frustrate upholstery newcomers, I thought it made the perfect 1 day workshop experience. For after a ‘hard’ day learning, making, laughing, creating you get to take home and put your feet up on a foostool, and say “That was Rounded by Me’.

FAQs
In this workshop we are making a coffee sack pinboard, which is why we're running it at Pharmacie Roastery - I run other pinboard workshops, check out my listings, in which other designs are possible.
We are using hand tools, and need to tension fabric, so good hand grip is definitely helpful. However we are working with a lightweight disc, not a sofa or a wingback chair, so this is definitely on the gentler side of upholstery projects.
Yes! It's a make and take course, so relax into your previous experience, and enjoy creating in a relaxed, friendly environment with the knowledge that you are going to complete a project within the session (and if you've upholstered before you'll know just how unusual that is!)
That's no problem, I will brief you on use of the tools, and the principles of upholstery, on hand throughout the session, to ensure you go home with something beautiful.
