Everything is provided on site, but wear layers, clothes you are happy to work in, and hard-soled shoes with covered toes.

Your teacher
I am an upholsterer living and working in East Sussex. I produce modern upholstered footstools. Useful objects, made well.My practice is informed by the idea that “If you can’t fix it, you don’t own it.”Alongside regular upholstery jobs (recovers, repairs, reupholstery), I run Rounded by making & selling upholstered birchwood modern footstools; using 100% natural & recycled materials, these pieces are made for life, not landfill.With none of the corners that so frustrate upholstery newcomers, I thought the footstools made the perfect 1-day workshop experience and now run these monthly at The Paddock Studios, Lewes, and as a guest tutor further afield. Folk come, learn, laugh, make & leave with their very own footstool.I trained as a Prop Maker at Central School of Speech & Drama, and on graduation worked in theatres & festivals including The Young Vic, Stephen Joseph Theatre & Edinburgh Fringe. I fell into marketing films, working at Universal and then Paramount Pictures for years, before realizing how much I missed making, so began training in traditional upholstery at the Thomas Calton Centre, and then in more depth at The Good Life Centre, both in London.Three things I know: Never underestimate the power of a biscuit. Measure twice, cut once. It's risky wearing flip-flops in the workshop.
