Chair Fest Weekend – Upholstery & Painting Workshop - Saturday 21st & Sunday 22nd November 10-4.30pm.

Transform a Chair in One Weekend

Learn upholstery and decorative techniques in a small, hands-on workshop and leave with a completely restored chair you created 

 Spend two inspiring days in the Lavender Grove cabin learning how to completely transform a chair using upholstery and decorative techniques.

 This immersive weekend workshop is designed for those who love creativity, craftsmanship and the satisfaction of making something truly unique. With a very small group of just 2–3 people, you’ll receive plenty of individual guidance while learning professional techniques in a relaxed, supportive setting.

By the end of the weekend you’ll not only understand the structure and process of upholstery, but you’ll also leave with a beautifully restored and personalised chair that you created yourself.

No experience is necessary — I guide you through every step.

What You’ll Learn

 You will learn how to:

• Safely strip upholstery and understand chair construction
