Would you like to immerse yourself in a week of traditional or modern upholstery? Our 5 day course gives you the opportunity to work on a more extensive project of your choice. At MODE Upholstery School we are dedicated to help you achieve this. You will receive a very high level of tuition as we limit our number of upholstery students to a maximum of 6.
This course is designed for all skill levels. The environment we offer enables you to work at your own pace in a friendly and productive space providing you with the skill and confidence to continue upholstering.
Your lead tutor Sarah was trained by the AMUSF and qualified as a master upholsterer in 2008. She has been teaching upholstery since 2012, so you can be assured that you will be in safe & knowledgeable hands. You will be guided step-by-step through the preparation and rebuild of your chosen project, be it a recover, re-upholster or up-cycle.
Depending on your experience and project you will be:
Introduced to specialist tools and how to use them.
Clean and make good the framework, carry out basic frame repairs (please be aware major repairs may need a skilled carpenter).
Learn about different wood finishes from painting to French polishing.
Rebuild and upholster your chosen product using traditional or modern materials and methods sympathetic to the age of your furniture.
