Have you got a piece of furniture that you’ve always wanted to change? Never known where to start though. Then this course gives you the opportunity to do this as you will learn how to strip away existing upholstery using specialised tools. Clean and carry out basic repairs, polish or paint the show wood. Build up the upholstery using traditional and or modern methods sympathetic to your project.
There is no restriction to the type of furniture you bring along. If you’re a beginner, we recommend you start with a footstool or dining chair. We offer a storage facility if you prefer to leave your project between classes, alternatively you can continue to work on your project at home.
The college provides some basic upholstery tools for you to use. Along with your furniture project, we recommend you bring: a dust sheet to cover the tables, an apron to protect your clothes and a pen and notepad to record your upholstery steps for future reference.
You will need to purchase your own top fabric for your project – we can discuss this in the first couple of weeks if you are unsure. Some learners like to buy their own tools once they’ve started the course.
If you would like to share your project with the tutor prior to starting the course, please email: susannah@yorkeupholsteryandinteriors.co.uk
