Learn and develop your upholstery skills by working on your own project this weekend.
10am - 4pm Saturday & Sunday
Bring your own project to this Weekend Upholstery Leisure Course.
Work at your own pace in a relaxed and friendly learning environment, developing a whole range of upholstery skills and gaining a great insight to this amazing trade.
The course is suitable for beginners or those with previous upholstery experience. Beginners are encouraged to start with a dining chair, footstool, cushion or something small, or if you are working on something at home and are stuck, bring it along.
Learn how to completely re-upholster the item of your choice - whether it's a prized family heirloom or a recent vintage find. If you don’t have a project in mind, the design team can help you to source something special, and are always on hand to give design and fabric inspiration.
You can expect to learn how to:
* Strip down your piece of furniture
* Cut foam, staple, re-covering your item with fabric, adding trim
The course is over 2 days and costs £215 - excluding all materials you may use.
All the equipment you'll need is provided. Materials used will be invoiced at the end of the weekend.
You will need to bring your fabric with you, or order through MDC before the course (all students receive a 10% discount on fabric.)
Once you have booked, the MDC will be in touch to discuss your project and fabric.
Margate Design Collective is the working upholstery workshop of Jo and Jess who re-upholster antique and modern furniture for commercial and domestic projects as well as creating bespoke furniture.
