Jane M reviewed: Upholstery/cushion making

"I've really enjoyed my 3 days spent with Jo re-upholstering a button backed chair. Jo's knowledge, guidance and patience is amazing and I've definitely gained in confidence. Hopefully I can finish the project at home with the skills I've learnt. Thanks Jo"

Juliet K reviewed: Upholstery/cushion making

"My chair was a more complex project than I'd realised, as a complete novice. Jo explains, instructs, guides, does the trickiest bits if you want her to, and manages the different needs of a small group all engaged on different projects. She creates a very encouraging and positive atmosphere. As well as learning something about upholstery, I found spending extended periods of time focused on the tasks cleared my mind. Away from screens, emails, I felt I'd restored myself as well as my chair! Thank you."

Steph reviewed: Upholstery/cushion making

"The upholstery course was fantastic! I brought a small footstool as a project to complete while being instructed by Jo. It was immensely enjoyable to see something get restored that had been gathering dust in my attic for years, and knowing that I did it myself was a really rewarding experience. I am not a very crafty person but I still managed it all thanks to Jo's instruction. She is very patient and explained each step very clearly. I'd definitely recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn a new skill."

"Hi Steph Thanks for a great review! You were a very diligent student and really applied yourself. You did a fantastic job... hope to see you again someday. Jo "
