This course builds on the techniques learnt in our Introduction to Modern Upholstery Workshop, progressing your understanding of modern upholstery processes with the aim of developing your independent working and decision making skills to enable you to be able to take on small upholstery projects on your own.
Students will learn the skills required to upholster and fit a cover on a simple chair i.e. one with an upholstered seat and back. Throughout the course you will gain an understanding of the cutting process when fitting a chair and develop your sewing skills as required.
