Weekend Upholstery Workshop

Description

Weekend beginners upholstery course. If you send in photos of your desired project, we can advise on the suitability of individual projects and full details of what to expect and what is included will be sent out on booking or request. The types of projects suitable for the complete beginner would be a footstool/piano stool, dining chair, armless or fireside chair. They can be modern or antique, depending upon what you’d like to have a go at. We teach both modern and traditional upholstery techniques. Please remember that the more complicated a project, the more time will be needed to complete a piece. We also run occasional workshops to show you how to make box cushion covers to fit into your chairs which can be booked separately. Also, if you are looking for upholstery fabric, our Bath Street shop sells a small selection of remnants and end of rolls, or we can order fabric from our range of UK fabric suppliers. The classes take place at our commercial workshop at Barrows House, Tweentown, Cheddar BS27 3HU. The workshop entrance is at the side of the building next door to A-M Hairstylist. Learning upholstery skills and techniques can be tremendous fun as well as a lot of hard work, but the thrill of restoring an old chair and turning it into a beautiful, functional and even artistic creation can be extremely rewarding! We have a passion for upholstering, and we like to think that all of our students end up sharing this passion. We run courses throughout the year and publish new dates regularly so if you can’t make these dates, you might find other dates in our programme which are more suitable. If you would like an informal chat before you decide to book one of our courses please get in touch via the 'message the tutor' button. We look forward to welcoming you to our Pretty Sitting Upholstery workshop in the heart of the Mendip Hills. Training provided by The New Artisan Training Co Ltd
