Our Modern Upholstery course has been developed as a comprehensive 12-day course suited to students who want to gain a broad set of modern upholstery skills, working with foam and other modern materials. This course will give you the skills, knowledge, and confidence to set up and run your own upholstery business, or to make a range of modern pieces for your own use, or to progress in your current job.
The course is focused on teaching a range of core, transferable upholstery skills that can be applied to a range of furniture and items of soft furnishings, and that will allow you to begin creating from your own space, or to enhance your current job role. The equipment needed to set up your own upholstery studio is limited to a few key items, and you will learn about each of these on the course.
Summer block course will run August 18th to August 30th: Monday to Saturday x 2 weeks. 9.30 – 4.30pm

Have you ever thought of making your own cards or gift packaging?
Then this may be the class for you! This class is suitable for new and experienced crafters alike. At each session we will make at least three projects with one generally being a 3D item based around the seasons and any events such as Christmas or Halloween.
We will use and learn a variety of stamping techniques, tools, mediums and card designs to complete our projects. Any guidance or support that is required will be given.
The cost of the class is £15 for a two hour session to include a kit with all the materials you will need to make your items (adhesives will be provided for the first session and then you will need to provide your own) along with all the support you require and light refreshments.
I am an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and the products I use in class are almost exclusively Stampin’ Up!
