School Of Upholstery

I'm really looking forward to seeing these Ercol chairs get some new Pirelli web and cushions this week. Ayshya has painstakingly hand scraped the finish and polished her finish both in class and at home. In doing so she has transformed these overlooked brown chairs into two tone beauties. Beech in all its glory and not single staple or tack in sight. #upholsterynotupholstery #upholstery #upholsteryclass #woodfinishing #ercol

A little film about carding fibre stuffings.

An ideal project to start a traditional upholstery course with. Spotted in Squires Antiques £12 😉

@vintagefrancedesign are in class today to work on this lovely Art Deco style arm chair. La Poste sacks are destined for the cover and some colour for the wood? I look forward to seeing this one come together.

Philomena's introduction to upholstery today. She discovered a cheeky English corner technique hiding under the cover of her chair. Loathed by many upholsterers and viewed as not "high craft" it is effective though as this 40year+ example proves. Not a technique I've ever used personally, but when asked; is it fit for purpose? It would be unfair to say not, clearly.

Lucy has been learning about the value of stuffing preparation and placement. Stuff well, stitch cleaner. 👌#traditionalupholstery #1ststuffing #coir

It's been emotional, I've never been a fan of making loosecovers and hiding all the work and the bits I love. Glad the customer liked it though. #reupholstery #fulltraditionalupholstery #loosecover #toomanyhoursnotenoughmoney #onelasttime #onejobtogogo
