Recent reviews of Intermediate Upholstery Workshop: Work with an Expert

  • 5/5 from Fiona Macdonald, attended Jan 2025: This was a fantastic workshop guiding me through the process of reupholstering and old chair. Paul was a really great tutor, giving clear instructions and demonstrating techniques but letting me get on with it independently in stages. I learnt about removing existing covers, replacing foam and webbing and cutting and attaching new cloth. Paul’s communication throughout was really clear and very supportive. I plan to do another session here in the future. I really enjoyed the activity and got to see and learn about the recycling activities of Renew hub

Creating Value from Waste for Greater Manchester.
Renew is an ambitious and unique project which aims to create value from waste to benefit Greater Manchester. It’s a joint initiative between R4GM & SUEZ UK. We take items donated at recycling centres across Greater Manchester, then we repair and renew them at our Renew Hub, ready to be resold to a new home.
Money raised by the shops will go to support local communities through two Greater Manchester initiatives. Each year money raised through sales made in the Renew shops will be donated to Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity and Recycle for Greater Manchester Community Fund.
