Weekend footstool upholstery course
Get to grips with the basics at our weekend footstool course. Led by Robin and Janneke this 2-day course will guide you through the process of upholstering your very own deep-buttoned footstool to take home at the end of the weekend. We will provide the frame, legs, and fillings - all you need to bring is yourself and 2 metres of upholstery fabric.
What you will learn
- How to safely use upholstery hand tools.
- How to use an industrial sewing machine and overlocker.
- Upholstery techniques including installing webbing, building up filling layers, making fabric pleats and deep-buttoning.
Small classes
Our classes are small - 4-6 students taught by 2 professional upholsterers - so there will be plenty of support.

The next 2-day course is on 10-11 October, 10am-4.30pm.
It will take place at our west end workshop situated in Kodac Studios, 719a South Street.
The cost is £380 - this includes a locally-made frame, legs, and all filling materials (excluding 2 metres of upholstery fabric which you should bring with you).
