1 Day session for Beginners, 6 people max, 9.30-4.30, 1 hr break for lunch.
Bring your own project ideally a ‘Drop in’ seat or a footstool* and your choice of Top Fabric.
All sundries (tacks, staples, glue, twine, calico, hessian, polywadding)and tools for use on the day provided. If there are bespoke materials required for a piece, springs, full (not spot) stuffing, buttons etc then these will be charged pro -rata.
Tea, coffee & biscuits provided. (Upholstery is unquestionably easier to learn after a gingernut).
Venue : Paddock Studios, Lewes, note the Studio is up a flight of stairs and you will need to transport your project to and from class.
This is a group session with people working on their own projects, limited to 6 people to ensure that everyone gets attention. I will be guiding people through modern and traditional upholstery techniques, answering questions and sharing information across the projects, the aim is that everyone learns from the collective experience. It is ideal as taster session for anyone keen to try their hand at upholstery, or take on a simple “I’d love to do that” project.
A few things to note :
- Please send me a photo of your project so I can confirm whether it is suitable prior to booking
- Please avoid velvet & leather, too tricky for a 1 day session
- Dependent on the project you may need to strip your chair down before
the workshop
- Everyone will have their own set of tools for use on the day (We will be sharing electric staplers) and sharing the cutting table.
Cancellation Policy : A full refund can be obtained up to 4 weeks before the course starts.
