Foundational Upholstery Skills

Tuesday, May 6, 11am – 2pm $50

Are you ready to step into the fascinating world of upholstery? Learn the fundamental techniques and skills necessary to reupholster a simple dining room chair of your choosing.

With upholstered projects, it all starts with the foundation. The hands-on experience of taking a chair from the frame to the finishing fabric and trim will introduce students to the knowledge and techniques needed to tackle a wide range of upholstery projects with confidence.​

This class is suitable for beginners with little to no upholstery experience, as well as those looking to refresh their skills. ​

Each student must supply their chair, which must be approved by the instructor for this beginner’s class.

Students are encouraged to bring 1-2 yards of decorative, upholstery-weight cover fabric to complete​ their chairs.​

Students will:

• Gain hands-on experience with upholstery tools and materials
• Learn to measure a project for materials and fabric
• Understand the foundation of an upholstered seat
• Sew a fabric-covered welt cord if needed.

“Foundational Upholstery Skills” is part of our Artist Talk, Exhibits, and Workshops series.
