Angie Smith reviewed: Upholstery course for beginners (Friday morning classes) at Pretty Sitting Upholstery & Interiors, Cheddar

"The 5 week course was really good fun. I made some new friends, which was important having only recently moved to Cheddar. Jillian and Lucy are extremely good tutors, generous with their time and able to explain the intricacies of traditional upholstery techniques, including all health and safety issues. The workshop is well-equipped. On-street parking is just around the corner. As a total novice, I'd learned a lot by the end of the course and was delighted to have completely revamped a battered and bruised old Lloyd Loom stool into a beautiful and useful piece of furniture."
