You will be guided through the entire process of reupholstering your project. While having some sewing/crafting experience can be helpful, it is not a requirement to enroll. Once registered, you will be asked to submit a photo of the project you would like to work on. All projects must be approved by the teachers to ensure we have the proper expertise to assist you. New students must complete a simple project such as an ottoman or dining seat before progressing onto more complicated projects. If you have an old piece of furniture you would like to salvage, come check us out!

Student Comments

The Upholstery class gave me the skills to work on reupholstering a chair. The course provided direction and source of materials needed.

In the Upholstery class, I made nice furniture, kept lots of chairs out of the landfill, and enjoyed doing it.
