Upholstery Immersion 2F22 (Wednesday Evening)

Have a piece of furniture that has potential, but needs a makeover?  Looking to learn how to do-it-yourself?  Join our Upholstery Immersion course.

Work on a project of your choice in an open-format classroom.  Bring your piece to the first class to assess and plan, with instructor input.  No set curriculum, the instructor will circulate and offer instruction at all levels.

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

BEGINNERS, PLEASE NOTE: You will be most satisfied if you start small with a dining room chair, footstool or ottoman. An armchair or wing-back chair will take more than one semester to complete.  Occasionally, smaller pieces may take more than one semester.

INTERMEDIATE STUDENTS: You may prepare for class by stripping your furniture at home.

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.

I wanted to learn something completely new, that seemed interesting and “physical.”  My instructor, Kathleen, was knowledgeable, kind and caring. I really feel as though she understood her students' needs and skill levels. I felt very welcomed and enjoyed the community I shared with my classmates; I made some new friends.  I had plenty of time to make necessary progress.  I was given space to learn at my own pace without being rushed or pressured, which was very important to me.
