What we’ll cover
During this full day hands-on course, you will learn how to paint and reupholster a drop-in seat style chair which you can take home with you at the end of the day.
We will provide a chair for you to work on and you can choose your favourite fabric from our beautiful selection as part of our Chair Makeover Workshop.
As well as trying your hand at some simple traditional upholstery techniques, you will also learn how to use chalk paint, selecting your favourite colour from our range to apply to your project.
We will then explore all the options for finishing and protecting your chair and offer several examples of creative and decorative techniques you may wish to use.
Your chair, fabric and all other tools, paint and materials will be available and provided as part of the course.
