Bring together everything you’ve learned throughout the programme by transforming a decorative chair provided as part of the course. Using paint, upholstery and styling techniques, you’ll create a unique piece designed to complement your chosen room scheme.
Your finished chair could become a dressing table chair, home office chair, bedroom feature chair, occasional chair or reading corner statement piece.
Before the workshop, you’ll source your own fabric as part of a simple homework task, helping you build confidence in selecting fabrics for future projects.
This hands-on session is designed to help you confidently combine interior design, upholstery and upcycling skills while discovering how existing furniture can be transformed rather than replaced.
