GIFT VOUCHERS ARE AVAILABLE
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.
