Do you have a chair in the corner, a stool tucked in the shed, a little heirloom that’s moved house with you more times than you can count? Maybe it once belonged to your grandmother. Maybe it came from a roadside find that spoke to you louder than anything store-bought ever could.
This is your invitation to bring it back to life!
Join me for an intimate, hands-on two-day workshop where you’ll learn the timeless craft of traditional upholstery, not just as a skill, but as a soulful act of restoration. Under my guidance, you’ll strip back, rebuild and reimagine a beloved piece using traditional techniques: tacks and hammer, rhythm and intuition.
You’ll leave not only with a beautifully renewed piece of furniture but also with a tool kit of your own (yours to keep), craft skills that will last a lifetime and a deeper reverence for the magic of restoration work.
