Upholstery Immersion 1W22

Jump in with both feet and learn to upholster your own furniture in a shop away from home, with tools, mentorship and community!

Work on a project of your choice in an open-format classroom. There is not a set curriculum. Instead, the teacher circulates and gives instruction at all levels.

Start with a dining chair or ottoman; large chairs take more than one semester. Bring your piece to the first class.

No love seats, chaise lounges, sofas. Storage is limited.

BEGINNERS PLEASE NOTE: An armchair or wing-back chair will take more than one semester to complete. Even smaller pieces may take more than one semester. A dining room chair, footstool or ottoman is a recommended first-project.

INTERMEDIATE STUDENTS: You may prepare for class by stripping your furniture at home. Beginners may wish to strip furniture with supervision of the instructor.

You may also be interested in our Basic Upholstery Class, which will give you the skills you need for a head-start on any professional-level upholstering project.

In summer, we offer a Summer Upholstery Intensive – the same as our regular Upholstery class, but all in one week. Leave your work out in the shop and immerse yourself.
