Mastering The Art Of Restoration

Unlock your creative potential with professional guidance

Upholstery is a timeless craft that blends artistic vision with practical mechanical skills, allowing individuals to breathe new life into beloved furniture pieces. Whether you are looking to restore a vintage heirloom or simply want to update the aesthetic of your living space, learning the fundamentals of fabric manipulation and structural repair is an invaluable asset. Our courses are designed to take students from the basics of tool selection to the complexities of pattern matching and tufting.

Beyond the technical skills, engaging in furniture restoration offers a therapeutic escape and a profound sense of accomplishment. By understanding the inner workings of chairs, sofas, and ottomans, you gain the ability to customize your environment exactly to your taste while reducing waste. Our supportive learning environment ensures that every student, regardless of prior experience, receives the attention and instruction needed to succeed in their personal projects.

Flexible learning opportunities on Tuesdays and Fridays

We understand that life can be busy, which is why we offer consistent learning opportunities during the week to fit various schedules. Our standard upholstery classes are held every Tuesday and Friday, providing a regular rhythm for students to progress on their projects. These sessions are structured to be approximately 1.5 to 2 hours long, a perfect duration to make meaningful headway without feeling overwhelmed by a full-day commitment.

During these weekday workshops, participants work on their own pieces under the watchful eye of experienced instructors. The collaborative atmosphere allows students to learn not just from the teacher, but also by observing the diverse projects undertaken by their peers. From stripping down old fabric to tying springs and cutting new foam, these sessions cover the essential lifecycle of a reupholstery job in manageable, bite-sized lessons.

Elevate your skills with Sunday sessions

For those looking to dive deeper into the intricacies of the trade or tackle more complex furniture designs, our Master Class offers a higher level of instruction. Scheduled specifically for Sundays at 12:00 PM, this class is tailored for dedicated students who are ready to refine their technique. Like our weekday offerings, these sessions typically run for 1.5 to 2 hours, focusing intensely on precision and advanced methods.

The Master Class is ideal for individuals who have mastered the basics and are eager to learn professional-grade finishing touches, such as channel back construction, deep button tufting, and skirt tailoring. The curriculum is fluid, adapting to the specific challenges presented by the furniture pieces brought in by students. This ensures a real-world learning experience that goes beyond textbook theory.

Participation in these Sunday sessions provides a unique opportunity to receive concentrated feedback on difficult restoration problems. Whether you are aiming to turn a hobby into a side business or simply want to achieve a showroom-quality finish on a personal project, the Master Class delivers the expertise required to achieve professional results.
