Britain's What's On Event Guide
2 Day Upholstery Workshop - 29/30 October
Our weekend upholstery workshops offer the opportunity to try out a new craft skill or to complete a chair project already started. Each of our weekend workshops can be booked separately and you can book as many as you want. We have classes running throughout the year. Each weekend workshop provides 12 hours of tuition which should allow you enough time to complete a small project or to get stuck into something a bit more complicated! We keep all our class sizes to 5 or 6 students to allow plenty of contact time with your tutor so that you will progress well with your project but it does mean that places are always in demand!
Our classes are suitable for the complete beginner as well as improvers. Students work on their own projects and are expected to bring a piece of furniture to work on. We can advise on the suitability of individual projects and full details of what to expect and what is included will be sent out on booking or request. The types of project suitable for the complete beginner would be a footstool/piano stool, dining chair, armless or fireside chair. They can be modern or antique, depending upon what you’d like to have a go at. We teach both modern and traditional upholstery techniques. Please remember that the more complicated a project, the more time will be needed to complete a piece.
We also run occasional workshops to show you how to make box cushion covers to fit into your chairs which can be booked separately. Also, if you are looking for upholstery fabric, our Bath Street shop sells a small selection of remnants and end of rolls, or we can order fabric from our range of UK fabric suppliers such as Linwood, Warwick, Prestigious Textiles, Romo, Blendworth, Morris & Co, Ian Mankin, Mulberry and GP&J Baker etc.
The classes take place at our commercial workshop at Barrows House, Tweentown, Cheddar BS27 3HU. The workshop entrance is at the side of the building next door to A-M Hairstylist.
