Have a chair you’ve been meaning to tackle but don’t know where to start? Stuck on springs, webbing, corners, or clean lines? Curious about materials, tools, and proper layering? Bring your piece and spend the week learning essential upholstery skills—from stripping and rebuilding to padding, fabric placement, and professional finishing techniques.
This intensive offers structured demonstrations, one-on-one troubleshooting, and studio days devoted to making real progress. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of process, materials, and techniques—and a beautifully refreshed piece.
Supplies: Bring a large chair like a wingback or club chair. A detailed materials list for fabric and supplies, plus recommendations for sources, will be provided in advance of camp.
