Develop your creative skills in a rural studio setting with my
5 week courses.
COURSE INFORMATION
This is a leisure course, so there are no formal qualifications at the end of it & all abilities are welcome.
The courses are booked in 5 week blocks but if you wish to continue to do more classes then you can book yourself in for consecutive classes if you wish. Some of my students have been with me continuously for 4 years & they just keep booking block after block.
The aim of the courses is to develop students creative skills and to discover the basic & further principles of traditional &/or 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 as a first piece (see pictures below).
*Larger pieces of furniture will need to be discussed beforehand as they will take longer & will take longer.
Please be aware that fabric sometimes hides a lot, so be prepared that your project may need more time/work than you think or is initially visible.
MATERIALS & TOOLS
Materials, projects & fabrics are not supplied but there are limited tools to use in the studio time only.
Unfortunately due to Covid-19 cleaning processes I am unable to lend certain small items, eg pins, needles, pens, dressmakers chalk etc, so you will need to bring your own from home or you can buy them from me.
Tool kits & other items eg pins etc can be purchased from me if you wish.
COST
The 5 week block costs £200.00 per student. This is not inclusive of fabric, trim, materials or tools.
- Courses are payable in advance to secure your place and the bookings are confirmed via email.
- More than one course may be booked for larger or varied projects.
