Upholstery Workshop

Course Number: ARTS1186

Reduce, Re-use and Recycle, or the three R's, are the three pillars of recycling philosophy. Upholster a footstool and discover how to re-design family heirlooms to blend with the decor of your home. Basic upholstery techniques will be applied to a footstool kit which will be supplied. Learn how to make a simple gimp trimming with narrow strips of upholstery fabric, a handmade replacement for what usually is a purchased gimp or trim. You are also invited to bring a small piece of furniture you would like to re-upholster, such as a dining chair or stool and, time permitting, get expert advice on how to restore upholstered furniture to its former glory.
