Program Description:
Start your upholstery journey with this beginner-friendly and practical project: reupholstering a dining chair seat. In this hands-on class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of slip seat upholstery, including how to tear down and re-cover a seat cushion using the versatile wrap-and-staple method. This technique can be applied to many types of furniture, such as side chairs, bar stools, ottomans, headboards, and more.
A practice chair will be provided for in-class use. If you’d prefer to bring your own chair, please email photos to Carolyn at [email protected] as early as possible so she can confirm it's appropriate for the course.
Also, you will get to take your chair home with you! If you want to bring your own fabric, you’ll need 1 yard of medium- to heavy-weight upholstery fabric.
Note: Work gloves are recommended but not required for staple removal.
