Our workshops are 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.
Your lead tutor Sarah, is a Master Upholsterer and 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, reupholster or up-cycle.
