Introduction to Upholstery

You’ll learn about removing old fabric, preparing a piece for reupholstery, working with padding and lining, and fitting new fabric neatly and securely. We’ll also cover useful tips on choosing suitable materials, using tools safely and recognising when a piece is worth restoring. Perfect for complete beginners, this workshop is a great way to build practical skills, save money and explore a more sustainable approach to furnishing your home. No previous experience is needed, and all tools and materials will be provided. You’ll leave with a better understanding of upholstery, useful techniques to practise, and the confidence to give old furniture a fresh new look of your own with greater confidence.
