This friendly & supportive workshop will give you a great introduction to key Upholstery skills & techniques, and will cover the selection and use of a variety of both traditional & modern techniques and upholstery materials, using specialist tools & equipment and considering appropriate design ideas. As a beginner, your starter project will be to complete either a small foot/piano stool or a simple drop-in seat dining style chair (i.e. this should only have a one person seat pad and NO springs). The period & style of the item is your own personal choice, but please be aware that this will determine which overall methods and materials you will use. Please dont bring anything larger or more elaborate than the recommended items! If you need further guidance, do please contact the Curriculum Leader before you enrol and/or purchase a specific piece of furniture. Once you have completed this course, you are able to progress onto a longer 10 week termly course, and a more complex 2nd project such as a chair with both a one person seat & back pad or a small simple armchair
