Introduction to upholstery - a three day course

A three day course for beginners

​This skills-packed upholstery course is designed to introduce tools and core techniques to budding upholsterers. Training for three full days, students build up their understanding of upholstery techniques working on a vintage or antique drop-in dining chair, and a modern footstool with shallow buttoning. 

 

These projects cover two important modules in an upholsterer's repertoire: traditional upholstery with hair and hessian; and modern upholstery built with foam and equivalent materials. These skills will enable students to confidently carry on upholstering a wide range of furniture at home, from chairs to headboards and ottomans (ottomen?). The course also serves as an important first-step for students considering the professional upholstery diploma.
