UPHOLSTERY: BASIC TECHNIQUES

Learn how to reupholster furniture from start to finish using a mix of traditional and modern techniques.  This class focuses on the upholstery of traditional chairs and ottomans (no leather, sofas, recliners, automotive or boat) and does not address wood frame restoration. 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. Limit 23 students.

Student Comments

The support and expertise of the Upholstery instructors are the core reason this class is so successful. They are knowledgeable, generous with their instruction, and patient. I have already completed 4 projects (chairs) and will continue the repair/upholstery of a fine, vintage chair next quarter. My current piece will continue in my family for another 100 years. I have shared the value of this program and the work with many friends and family members, and I anticipate some of them joining this course in the future.

I loved every moment of my Upholstery class. The teachers were patient and detail-oriented. I loved Learning how to make welting. The course was so much fun, and I learned more than I expected. I can’t wait to take it in the fall and beyond.

Sarah Wong,
Pastry Chef/Art Teacher

The instructors were key to making the Upholstery class a success. They have so much hands-on talent.

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.
