I trained as a cabinetmaker 50 years ago.
As a mature student, I obtained a first class honours degree in antique furniture conservation and restoration. I set up my business, Peter White Furniture, where for the last 20 years I have been restoring and upholstering antique furniture for clients. Now in my upholstery studio, and under the name of 'The upholstery tutor' I offer upholstery courses where students will learn to upholster their own chair using traditional techniques and materials. Based in a rural setting overlooking the Warwickshire countryside.
"The most enjoyable few hours I've spent in a very long time. Peter is a fantastic teacher and the atmosphere in his workshop is so relaxed and productive that I would happily spend time there every day. In fact, my chair is nearly done so I think
it might be time to go hunting for my next project..."
"I’ve just started a course with Peter, upholstering a Victorian iron back armchair. I’m a complete beginner but Peter has been very patient, helpful and informative. Some of the time I have had 1:1 tutoring which is excellent value and has really helped me to progress. Would v highly recommend!"
Peter White Furniture responded:
"Your progressing well with your project. The final result will look great."
