Learn the fundamentals of upholstery by attending this beginners class for those who have a small item wanting refurbishment.  Our tutor is an experienced upholsterer and all the basics will be covered in this stage one class.  Strict requirements on the size of the item so no large chairs please.  Please bring piece of furniture or project first night.  There is no storage so any furniture will need to be taken home after each class. You should be able to carry it by yourself to and from the workshop.
