Recent reviews of Furniture Upcycling Class
- 5/5 from Beryl Stefanidis, attended Sep 2026: Brilliant teacher, was so helpful to everyone. Everyone in the class was supportive. Hannah explained everything. Great atmosphere, would definitely recommend. I will definitely be booking again. Have uploaded before and after. I have the seat of the telephone table to recover.
- 5/5 from Kalpna Parekh, attended Mar 2025: Painted a side table with an intricate art deco design. Hannah was great. Gave advice and tips, no rushing and working at everyone's individual pace. Learnt so much on the day, not just working on my project but seeing other people's too. Excited to try on other furniture.
- 5/5 from Adrienne Roberts, attended Jan 2025: I really enjoyed this class. I learned a lot and was thrilled with my piece in the end.
- 5/5 from Marc Bridle, attended Jan 2025: Really great class, Hannah is really helpful and shows good techniques to get the job done there and on your own! Really enjoyed it
- 5/5 from Liz, attended Oct 2024: I was gifted a voucher from family and knew that I wanted to do this class. Hannah was lovely and explained things really clearly so, despite entirely lacking any creativity myself, I came out with a piece that I am really proud of. All materials, bar the furniture (!), we're provided including great quality Fusion Mineral paint. We learnt sanding, painting and masking tape pattern techniques. I managed to pick a very fiddly table to do and got a good workout sanding it down! I would absolutely recommend this class.
- 5/5 from Karen Holdship, attended Oct 2024: Fantastic day upcycling my wooden table, really helpful and friendly teacher. Everything you needed was available and lots of support. Truly great day and definitely recommend.
- 5/5 from Cristina Rot, attended Mar 2024: I wanted to get more comfortable with restoring old furniture and get the basics right. Hannah showed me the ropes, from cleaning, fixing loose wood, sanding, to painting and final touches. I really enjoyed it overall. Thanks Hannah
- 5/5 from Catherine McDonnell, attended Nov 2023: Hannah was wonderful. She gave clear instructions and spent time helping us with the individual plan that we each had for our pieces. The class was super fun and we had some chats as we worked. Paints etc were of high quality and I’m thrilled with my piece!
- 5/5 from Hamira Khan, attended Aug 2023: Brilliant! “I could not be happier. Hannah was amazing '' Timing and location was great, I made the right choice to attend
- 5/5 from Sean Maguire, attended Apr 2023: Hannah was a great teacher listened well and guided us through the whole process with good detail. All materials provided and a warm friendly atmosphere. Would certainly do another course.
- 5/5 from Rosie Devine, attended Mar 2023: The class was very relaxed and informative. Due to Hannah’s patience I now feel totally confident to start my own project transforming 3 pieces of pine bedroom furniture to something quite stunning.
- 5/5 from Egle, attended Apr 2022: Great teacher who was well organised.. Our workstation were fully equipped. She ran through the techniques for repainting that then allowed you to get on an work on your furniture piece. She was a helpful advisor with hands on if needed. Fusion paints were used and are eco and easy to use. Great paint. A worthwhile day in every way and we completed our piece of furniture.
- 5/5 from Jess Carter, attended Feb 2022: Highly recommend Hannah's class. She's lovely and knowledgeable. I'm very happy with my upcycled table.
Your teacher
I am Hannah Wiles, a Manchester-based fine artist and furniture restorer. Having completed an arts degree and worked in the industry for a few years, I decided my mission would be to use my design skills and love of last century furniture to create stunning contemporary pieces. I saw amazingly designed materials made of beautiful materials being discarded as old fashioned and I knew in my bones we could do better and that we deserved better.I determined only to use environmentally sound products in my making and teaching process. It is my absolute belief that our homes should mirror the beauty of the natural world, without damaging it – this is how Tread Softly was born. Creating gorgeous sustainable furniture that ‘doesn’t cost the earth’.In line with this, I run furniture upcycling workshops and would love you to join me to create something wonderful. I am a qualified teacher and tutor and have been running workshops for several years.
