Approx. dimensions of the stool frame; 450mm x 650mm x 80mm
"Very enjoyable. Great tutor. Well explained instruction and friendly. Had a great time & experience."
What do I need to bring?
Students will customise their stool to their own tastes so will need to provide their own top fabric, stool legs and any trimmings. Advice will be given in the first session about types of fabrics and where these items may be purchased from.
All other materials are included in the course fee.
All tools will be provided for use within the workshop, however advice and guidance can be given if you wish to purchase your own kit.
