2-Day Traditional Upholstery Workshop
Great course
A very rewarding 2 day course, but be prepared to work hard! Ann is a patient and thorough teacher. There’s lots to learn and I was rather slow, so I didn’t quite finish the chair seat. However, I enjoyed the upholstery so much that I knew I wanted to not only finish this at home, but also carry on doing more items in the future. Ann advised me on the basic kit I would need, so I bought them and finished my chair at home. It looks really lovely and has pride of place in my hall. I wholly recommend this course.
Wow - just wow!
I attended the 2-day course last weekend. I went in with no upholstery skills or know-how at all and came away with a lovely antique chair, upholstered traditionally and looking fabulous. The teacher Ann said it would last 50 to 100 years now it’s been done! She’s a great teacher – very patient and helped me to work out problems for myself, so I’ll know what to do with the next chair I upholster. I am so impressed with this course I’m thinking of taking the longer one too, to learn even more. I even think, with some practice, I could do this for a living – I’d love that! I totally recommend this course to anyone thinking of having a go at proper upholstery.
