Upholstery 102 - Transform Your Own Piece
Join us for a 3-hour introductory upholstery clinic where you'll transform your own furniture piece with guidance from veteran seamstress. This hands-on class will teach you the basics of upcycling furniture through upholstery.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
Project Approach: Understand how to evaluate upholstery projects, assess their complexity, and plan an effective workflow.
Material Selection: Learn how to choose the right fabrics, padding, and other materials to ensure comfort, durability, and aesthetic appeal.
Tool Mastery: Familiarize yourself with the essential tools used in upholstery for precision and efficiency. Students are required to bring their own tools; a list will be provided once a photo of your project is submitted. Available tools include pneumatic staplers, or you can bring your own needle-nose pliers, staple removers, flathead screwdrivers, scissors, or staplegun.
Furniture Requirements: The furniture piece you bring must be approved in advance and cannot require any sewing. Submit a photo (top and bottom) of your project to workshops@brookelane.com for approval. This allows our teacher to offer personalized advice and ensure the project is suitable for the clinic.
A guide with online resources and materials will be provided. Upholstery-weight fabric will also be available for purchase at wholesale prices.
Don't miss the chance to learn from an expert upholsterer! Space is limited to 3 spots—reserve yours today and take the first step toward mastering upholstery.
