Your teacher
At North Wales Upholstery we run a range of upholstery and craft courses in the historic town of Denbigh, in Beautiful North Wales. In 2011 I was made redundant from a job I thought I’d loved for 25 years. I was devastated but also strangely excited.Could this be an opportunity to make some long overdue changes in my professional life and realise a long held dream of being self-employed?Around this time a friend invited me to a fortune telling night. Now, I’m generally sceptical about these things, but as I was at a bit of a crossroads I thought I’d go along and see what the spirits had in store for me. The fortune teller told me she saw me surrounded by pin cushions, needles and chairs. Crikey!… am I going to be an upholstress?Over the next few days the idea started to sink in….and feel right….really right. In fact, it felt amazing! I could get out of the rat race. I could be self-employed. I could be an upholstress! I took the plunge and two weeks later I started 18 months of training with the Association of Master Upholsterers.The first time I picked up a tack hammer I knew… this is the job for me! Soon after I completed my training I started teaching in my workshop and North Wales Upholstery School was born. I've been lucky enough to work with a Master upholsterer who now teaches the classes in the school while I run my other business Baa Stool Ltd.
