Ever fancied learning upholstery but weren’t sure where to start?

Join us for a fun, hands-on day at our beautifully converted chapel in Scholar Green, Cheshire, where you’ll learn the foundations of modern upholstery while creating your very own stool, footstool or bench to take home.

Designed for complete beginners, our small-group workshops give you the chance to get to grips with professional tools, explore upholstery materials and fabrics, and learn practical techniques with expert guidance every step of the way.

Everything is included, so there’s no need to buy tools, source materials or find a piece of furniture beforehand. Just come ready to learn, create and leave with something you’re proud of.
