Learn to reupholster furniture

That battered old chair might have more life in it yet.

DK Upholstery School teaches you how to strip furniture back and rebuild it properly, learning the practical skills behind upholstery rather than simply giving something a cosmetic makeover.

Their beginner course takes you through the process step by step, from preparing the frame and working with foam and padding to sewing and covering your finished piece. You don't need any previous upholstery or sewing experience to join.

And if you discover you love it, there are longer courses where you can tackle more ambitious furniture projects and learn the skills to restore and reupholster pieces yourself.

BEFORE YOU GO
The beginner upholstery course runs over six days and is suitable for complete beginners. You'll work on an ottoman while learning the fundamental techniques of upholstery.

Courses are held at DK Upholstery School in Montague Gardens and spaces are limited. Booking ahead is a good idea.

Course dates, fees and what's included can change, so check the latest details directly with DK Upholstery School before booking.
