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 aim of all 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 (see below) or footstool as a first piece. *Larger pieces of furniture will need to be discussed beforehand.
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. Tool kits & other items eg pins etc can be purchased from me if you wish.
- Courses are payable in advance to secure your place and the bookings are confirmed via email.
- More than one course may be booked.
COST
The 5 week block currently costs £175.00 per student per block of 5 (consecutive weeks). This price has been the same since 2016 but from 31st August/01 September 2021 there will be a price increase to £200.00 per 5 week block, unfortunately due to increased costs of materials & overheads.
(More than one block at a time can be booked for larger or varied projects.)
