Learn Upholstery the Right Way — In a Real Working Shop

The best way to actually learn upholstery is to immerse yourself in it.

Join Geneveene Louwe, Master Upholsterer (20+ years) for a 5-day intensive upholstery experience inside a professional working studio at the Lakeshore Artist Co-op in Toronto.

This is not a craft class.
This is real trade training.


WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

• Learn inside a real upholstery shop
• Work on your own furniture project
• Use professional tools and equipment
• Get hands-on guidance the entire time
• Learn techniques most shops no longer teach


BRING A FRIEND FREE

Work together, stay motivated, and complete your project faster.

Perfect for:
• friends
• partners
• parent + adult child
• creatives learning together


YOUR EXPERIENCE INCLUDES

• Pre-Camp Zoom Strip Session
• 4 Days of Hands-On Training
• Foam + materials education (real vs cheap grades)
• Access to professional tools and machines
• Small group, high-attention training


WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

• full strip-down and rebuild
• foam selection + proper support
• fabric layout and cutting
• upholstery sewing techniques
• stapling + tensioning methods
• clean professional finishing


WHAT TO BRING

• your furniture project (chair, seat, or small piece)
• fabric (or purchase through us at trade pricing)


LOCATION
