Would you love to be able to upcycle & personalise furniture for your own home, or even to kick start a potential new career? This course will develop your skills in the selection and use of a variety of both traditional & modern techniques and upholstery materials, using specialist tools & equipment and considering appropriate design ideas. 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 have just 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. If there is time, you may potentially then progress to starting a second project- such as a chair with both a one person seat & back pad but you will need to re-enrol in September to complete this. Returning learners should bring along their current project work or new chair project. If you need further guidance- particularly about starter project choices- do please contact the Curriculum Leader either before you enrol or purchase a specific piece of furniture.
