Class Description

This three part class will take you through the full process of re-upholstering a chair in a crash-course demo and lecture format.

Students will observe the problem solving process in real time as the instructor removes the original upholstery, assesses the foam and batting underneath, creates the pattern for the new covering fabric, and re-covers the chair.

Students will get to try each step of the process along the way, but will not be reupholstering their own piece of furniture in this introductory class.
