Our leisure courses allow you to experience the upholstery industry as well as getting a piece of furniture to show off to your friends and family! No experience is necessary, we will provide all of the tools and equipment as well as guiding you through each stage to ensure you produce a high quality project.

On the 3 day deep button footstool course you will build your own 700mmx 500mm stool from the frame up using Modern Upholstery Techniques. All tools and equipment provided, all you need to bring is 2m of your chosen fabric.

Our 6 week workshop will provide you with the space, tools and guidance you need to fully upholster your own chair. Every chair is different and requires a different amount of fabric, so, please send us an image of your piece and your chosen fabric style so we can suggest how many meters of fabric you will require.

On the 4 day traditional footstool course you will build your own stool (600mmx450mm) from the frame up using traditional materials, tools and techniques.

This one day experience will bring a new lease of life to your dining chair set. You will be provided with all the tool, equipment and guidance you need to re-upholster your 4 piece set (Drop in or screw on pad chairs only). Every chair is different so please send an image of the chairs and your chosen fabric so we can suggest how many meters of fabric you will require.
