Dive into the world of sustainable textile art with this chair upholstery course in Stoke. Bring along your own wooden-framed chair and restore it to its former glory with the support and guidance of an expert tutor.
Learn in a relaxed but purposeful environment with plentiful tea, coffee and biscuits. With small group sizes, you'll get plenty of guidance! Learn new skills and techniques to achieve more professional results.
Located at Meticulous, within the historic Spode Works complex, the venue for this furniture upcycling class is a thriving hub of creative professionals and a perfect place to get inspired!
How you and your tutor tackle your project will be determined by the chair you bring. You'll use traditional and modern methods, with the traditional methods being a little more time-consuming.
You may choose to re-cover your furniture to give it a fresh appearance - this involves taking off the top fabric only. This option is quicker than a full re-upholster. If you prefer a full upholster, however, your tutor can take you through this - it involves ripping off all layers until you get to the bare frame and rebuilding your chair from there. This option takes twice as long as re-covering but is a fascinating process. Whichever method you choose with your tutor, you'll be supported throughout to ensure your chair looks beautiful by the end of your session.

See booking optionsMeticulous was launched by owner Katie, to share her passion for creative upholstery and furniture restoration, through upholstery courses and commissions.
Each vintage chair tells a story. They evoke special memories, bring warmth to your home and showcase the value of skilled craftsmanship. Katie, loves good design and hates waste. Restoring and renewing well-made furniture is part of moving away from a wasteful way of living and towards a more respectful and sustainable relationship with the objects around us. This also fosters a better sense of community. Everywhere people are beginning to make, do, share and get involved.
Katie is a City & Guilds qualified upholsterer and maker with a degree in the History of Art & Design and an MA in Heritage Management. She has taught craft skills for the past 10 years, having previously working in the furniture industry as a City & Guilds Trainer/Assessor. There, she taught traditional upholstery courses to apprentices and basic furniture making to young people who were struggling in mainstream education. Before her upholstery training, she worked for organisations including The National Archives and the National Trust, where she gained special insight into the history of designed objects and the stories they tell.
