Have you ever wondered how professional upholsterers work their magic on furniture pieces to make them look fresh, luxurious, and elegant? Have you often thought you would love to have a go but are unsure where to start? Or have you tried your hand at upholstery and would like to develop your skills to the next level? Join this friendly and welcoming one-day workshop, where you'll learn the ropes from a professional upholstery expert.

During the day, you will learn how to make and upholster a lovely footstool from scratch to take home with you on the day (everything will be provided for you apart from a 1-metre piece of fabric which you would need to bring with you).

You will be able to choose the feet (height and style) from a selection provided for your footstool, and you will be able to paint or wax them in a colour/shade to complement your fabric from the wide range of beautiful colours in our chalk paint re-colour range/wax range.

Please don’t worry if you are a complete upholstery novice! I will start from the beginning and explain all about the tools required, the materials to use, the pros and cons of different fabrics, and provide advice on the best and most competitive retailers.

Alternatively, if you have dabbled a little in the wonderful craft of upholstery already but want to develop your skills and progress to a slightly higher level, then this is the course for you. The numbers are kept small (6 to 10) to allow for one-to-one instruction for much of the time during the day.

I look forward to meeting you. Jo x
