Acquire a grounding in upholstery skills or build on your knowledge of basic techniques. Beginners bring a dining chair or similar to work on and learn the different methods of springing and stuffing up a seat, preparing a tacked edge and stitching the edges to a traditional style.

Suitability of these projects must be discussed beforehand with the tutor.
