Maker's bio

At The Upholstery Nest, students embark on hands-on projects that transform their understanding of upholstery. In our workshops, participants often begin by reupholstering a simple dining chair, mastering foundational skills such as stripping old fabric, applying webbing, and installing padding. For more advanced learners, projects like crafting a sprung ottoman with traditional eight-way tied springs are undertaken, offering deeper insight into complex upholstery techniques. These carefully selected projects ensure that each student gains practical experience, building confidence and proficiency in the art of upholstery.
