Friday 24th May - Sunday 26th May 2024

3 Day Long Weekend 'Bring your Own' Upholstery Project with Liam 

Designed for those who have had a little experience before in the upholstery world and are looking to take their skills to the next level. Over the duration you will have 15 hours to complete your project so this course is perfect for items which are a little larger than what you would do on our beginner Footstool course. 

These could include for example, one small to medium bedroom chair/armchair or several smaller items such as dining chairs. Please scroll through the pictures for example sizes and difficulty.

With a max of 6 people on a workshop, engross yourself in a fun, relaxed and informative environment to produce a lovely piece of furniture to take home and show off to your friends and family!

Full tutorial and support throughout with Liam.

*You will be able to keep your piece at the workshop for the duration of the three days.
