“I am sooooo proud. I’m a self confessed hamfisted crafter. But after Emma’s expert and gentle guidance I am going home with the most fabulous footstool.  I can believe I made it!!  Thank you Emma.  Clear instructions.  Watchful. Encouraging   And the most beautiful venue.”

“A fabulous day switching off from work and being creative. The space is beautiful, Emma’s tuition is top class, and the materials are great quality. Highly recommend doing one of the workshops.”

“Attended a deep button upholstery course yesterday and loved every second. Location was stunning, Emma was a wonderful tutor, the quality of the materials and equipment were also outstanding. I would thoroughly recommend people of all abilities and ages give this a go. It’s great fun and you get a beautiful piece of furniture to take away.”

“Had the best time creating a footstool. Emma is skilled in her craft and teaches at a pace to suit all. Quality fabrics and equipment make creating a pleasure. Beautiful surroundings and a beautiful end result.

I would certainly recommend and look forward to returning. Thank you Emma.”

“I recently attended the deep buttoned upholstery workshop which was absolutely brilliant. Emma was such a good teacher and has great patience but made everything so easy to do using a step by step approach. It was amazing to see a bunch of materials turned into such a lovely seating bench. My friends and family are also super impressed. Would definitely recommend Emma and her courses.”

“I love all things home decor and have often thought about upholstery and imagined I wasn’t skilled enough to do it. Meeting Emma a couple of times and discussing her online courses I was delighted when she offered to collaborate with me.

I was so excited to receive the frame kit and loved choosing my own fabric. Everything was included in the kit and the supporting videos and worksheets were so easy to follow. Honestly, if I can do it anyone can.

The whole process is step by step, it’s like having Emma in your own home. She was also available should you have any questions.

I’m so proud of myself and I now have a beautiful bench in my bedroom that fills me with joy when I look at it. I would highly recommend Emma’s frame kits.”

“A truly fantastic day learning the basics of upholstery whilst engaged in a project to construct an attractive and useful storage crate – which you get to take home with you at the end of the day! Great support throughout the “build” with plenty of time to allow progress at your own pace. Booking the course was easy with great online comms, and I must say that Emma was particularly helpful when it came to re-booking as a result of the pandemic. If you will excuse the pun, the icing on the cake was a slice of Lemon Drizzle served at lunchtime – absolutely delicious!”

“As somebody who sits behind a desk all week, the only creativity I get is using spreadsheets! So the day I spent in the beautiful workshop with Emma was awesome – then I got to take home my gorgeous crate too! Highly recommend!”

“Having seen the wonderful craftsmanship of Emma and her dad I was really keen to ‘have a go’ and learn a new skills from such talented people. The day did not disappoint in any way. From the preparation and help to choose my fabric, to the clear support and guidance during the day; everything was fantastic AND I got the take home a wonderful, useful piece of furniture. I highly recommend this course and am even thinking of doing it again so I have another one for my next grandchild (Emma made one for my granddaughter)”

“I will totally be recommend this workshop to friends and family. It was great to be in such a lovely atmosphere and surroundings. Emma and Ian were very helpful, patient and knowledgeable. There is nothing I would change about the experience and thoroughly enjoyed it.”

“Thank you so much for a wonderful and really informative day!!! I cannot express strongly enough how much I enjoyed myself and also how much I learned from this day. My basic upholstery skills were non existent but this day course gave me oodles of confidence in tackling this storage stool and in looking at future projects!
Thank you to You and to your lovely father (who taught me how to use a power drill.. great fun!!).

I would definitely recommend this course to all beginners and those wishing to develop their upholstery skills!!!

I hope to do further courses with you in the future.

“It was such a lovely day. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. I smile every time I walk past my crate.”

“My daughter and I have had a fantastic day on the upholstery workshop creating a cushion for a crate to use for extra storage for any room. Great to sit on to and put your feet up! Having limited knowledge of upholstery it was a great way to learn about what tools are needed and how to go about building the cushion. The day was well planned out and every stage covered and absolutely no time pressure in fact the time flew by. What a sense of achievement getting the corners just right and the buttons perfectly in place. Above all for me was the opportunity for my daughter and I to get together to make a special memory after a year pretty much apart. A great workshop.”
