Upholstery Courses

Courses for students of all abilities...

Steven, your tutor, has 30 years' experience in upholstery and has taught upholstery at a technical college and a number of high schools. Our courses are designed to enable students of any ability to produce satisfying work, enjoyed in a well equipped, professional workshop.

The Upholstery Course
Class size: Generally, a maximum of four students. For those wishing to organise their own private groups, extra dates, smaller groups or one-to-one tuition, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Classes run from 10am to 6pm. There is a one-hour break for a light lunch, which is provided. Tea, coffee and refreshments will be provided throughout the day.

You will need to bring your own item of furniture to work on. Alternatively, we can supply quality frames to purchase by arrangement. Plenty of notice must be given to arrange this.

Restrictions may apply to the size of project, not only for our space requirements, but to ensure that the student achieves a realistic goal. Please telephone to discuss if you wish.

Fees
The full-day course running from 10am to 6pm costs £80 per person. Please make cheques payable to "Brass Tacks".

The fee is payable in full when returning your completed booking form.

Any material costs used in the course will be charged on the day, payment for which may be cash/card or cheque.

Cancellations
Please note, course fees are non-refundable, unless we are able to re-allocate your place.

Evening classes are also run. Limited spaces are available, so booking is essential. These run every Wednesday evening during the months of March, April, May, September, October and November. Please note: Demand is high, so please book early to avoid disappointment. Further dates to be added.

Seat Restoration

This encompasses polishing and upholstery for both bespoke upholstered furniture and high quality replica pieces.

We can supply the fabric or leather of your choice, alternatively we can work with your materials.

Some clients craft beautiful tapestries, which we upholster to furniture of their choice, creating a truly unique piece.

An increasing number of clients have even decided to carry out all of the above work themselves in our upholstery courses.
