This is a full weekend, hands-on workshop where you’ll upcycle and reupholster your own chair with my guidance every step of the way. No experience needed.
✨ Everything is included – even the chair
What you’ll learn:
• How to upholster and rebuild a chair step-by-step
• Layering, shaping, stapling & finishing techniques
• Painting and decorative detailing
• How to strip a chair (demonstrated and practised on a separate frame)
➡️ You’ll leave with a beautiful finished chair and the confidence to do it again
Why this workshop is different:
• Very small group (usually just 2/3people)
• Lots of 1-1 support throughout
• A proper, in-depth learning experience
• One of my most rewarding workshops to teach 🤍
