Develop your creative skills in a rural studio setting with our 5 week courses.

COURSE INFORMATION

For beginners & intermediate levels, it is a leisure course, so there are no formal qualifications at the end of it.

The aim of all the courses is to develop students creative skills and to discover the basic & further principles of traditional & modern upholstery. Class sizes are maximum of 5 students.

For all courses you should bring along a small piece of upholstered work as your 1st project. Eg: dining chair, drop-in seat or footstool. Larger pieces of furniture will need to be discussed beforehand.

Please be aware that fabric sometimes hides a lot, so be prepared that your chair may need more work than you think.

 

Materials & Tools

Materials, projects & fabrics are not supplied, there are limited tools to use in the studio only. Unfortunately due to Covid I am unable to lend any other items.

If you wish to buy your own tools the following list is a guide for your basic kit, however I do sell a starter kit, which consists of the following plus a webbing stretcher, curved needles & pins. Other items can be purchased too such as stuffings, tacks, threads etc.

  • carpenters pincers
  • Tack & staple lifter

  • Scissors (sharp fabric only scissors) 
  • notepad and/or camera to record your progress & to create a portfolio of work should you wish (not included in kit) .
  • Courses are payable 2 weeks in advance to secure your place and the bookings are confirmed via email.
  • More than one course may be booked.
