Upholstery & Soft Furnishings Workshops

My upholstery and soft furnishing workshops are designed to give you dedicated, personalized tuition from my fully equipped workshop, allowing you to learn at your own pace and focus on the skills that matter most to you.

Creating upholstered items and sewing soft furnishings is one of the most meaningful and expressive ways to add your personality and style to your home. Producing items for the home yourself gives you the freedom to choose colours, fabrics and design features in limitless combinations that are not readily available.

Whether you are a complete beginner eager to learn the fundamentals, or an experienced maker looking to refine your techniques, you’ll receive expert guidance every step of the way.

With over eight years of teaching experience and a passion for sharing traditional craftmanship, I provide patient, practical, instruction in a friendly and encouraging atmosphere. You’ll leave each session with greater confidence, new skills, and the satisfaction of making something truly your own.
