I had the best two days with jo and Jess learning how to re upholster a small stool and a chair pad I learnt so many skills and I am so happy with the results they made the class so much fun and their knowledge was amazing I will definitely be back thanks again Yvonne

A really informative course set over 17 weeks. An Upholstey course is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while and I’m so happy to have gotten a spot on the first course.I’ve been lucky enough to work on a few different pieces throughout the course and learned different and valuable new skills with each one.Jo and jess are such knowledgeable and helpful teachers, there ready to help and advise at every point.Ive now done a couple of projects at home. This course has given me the confidence to try upholstering pieces around the house that need a spruce up.It’s also a really fun social atmosphere and a great place to meet likeminded people. Really recommend!

I am on the 17 week upholstery course and absolutely love the class. Jo and Jess walk you through the process of reupholstering a item of furniture of your choosing. There is a perfect mix of letting you do it yourself and also being on hand to help if you get stuck or need to understand what to do next. As everyone on the course is doing something different you get to observe different techniques. Beyond the practical learning I also enjoy the opportunity to get together with a group of like minded people for cup of tea and a bit of a natter. Five stars all round

Absolutely loved my footstool upholstery course, really fun, sociable and well structured for learning all the skills involved. Jo and Jess were both lovely, highly skilled and really helpful. Loved meeting and getting to know some new local people over the course of the weekend too

The weekend footstool course was so good! Jo and Jess provided everything thing we needed as well as support beforehand choosing fabric. They provided clear instructions and ample encouragement so we grew in confidence and independence through the weekend. I left with a beautiful footstool and the knowledge and enthusiasm to make another. I would highly recommend this course.

Great place to learn.

Absolutely loved the 17-week upholstery course. Jess and Jo are both super attentive and have really helped me hone in my upholstery skills. Looking forward to continuing the journey.
