Taught by Julie O'Rourke, who has 28 years of upholstery teaching experience, this workshop covers webbing installation, hessian application, foam cutting and shaping, and wadding and fabric finishing. By the end, participants will have made a fully padded, upholstered seat pad resembling a finished dining chair seat, along with guidance for continuing similar projects at home. It's aimed at complete newcomers as well as furniture enthusiasts and craft-curious do-it-yourselfers. Doors open at 10:50am for an 11am start, running around three hours. Children under 18 must attend with a parent or guardian, and spaces are limited. Refunds are available up to seven days before the event.
