Upholstery Evening Class

Ever thought of having a go at Upholstery? Finally tackling that old chair that has been forever in the attic? 

In my small class you can reupholster or recover a bedroom chair, footstool or dining room chair. I will show you how to calculate the materials, strip and repair the chair and recover in traditional or modern technique.

​

The chairs can have a maximum size of a small parker knoll armchair as the access is restricted.

If in any doubt you can get in touch with a picture to clarify if the chair is suitable for the class. In case of a bigger project, you might need two terms to complete.

​

During the term you are welcome to leave the chairs in my studio but if you consider working on your furniture in-between sessions you would need to take it home.

​

The hire of the tools is included, I will provide you with everything needed including a pneumatic staple gun.

I recommend bringing protective gloves and a dust face mask to the class, upholstery can be messy!

​

Any upholstery materials needed and the fabric to recover are not included in the cost of the course but are either available in my studio or I will help to source. There is also the possibility to purchase the tool kit at the end of the term.

The classes have got 5 sessions of 3 hours on a Tuesday evening, 5.30 until 8.30 pm and the cost is £150.
