Get ready to use your hands in this weekly upholstery class in Lewes, with a maximum of 4 students. You can book to start on any Friday. Put your preferred start date in the notes when you place your order. The intention is to attend your three sessions consecutively, but we understand that things can come up -- we aim to accommodate if you need alternative dates.
Let us know in advance what project you plan to bring -- send a photo and we can prepare in advance to help you! You'll benefit from some materials provided and helpful tips -- other materials can be bought at the start.
We offer space for learning, using your hands and for fun! We can work on traditional or modern pieces. It is suitable for beginners and returners – this is a great opportunity to work on your own piece, whilst learning from the differing projects across the group, whilst still receiving significant personal tuition.

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.
