North Wales Upholstery

Learn the fabulous craft of upholstery and complete your own project in our upholstery classes.

I am a professionally qualified traditional upholstress and a student of a Director of the Association of Master Upholsterers and Soft Furnishers. I love to take old, tired pieces of furniture and bring them back to life with a complete re-build including new stuffings or simply a new cover.

Traditional upholstery is a craft that dates back centuries and involves time-honoured traditional methods and materials in order to create comfortable, long lasting seating. A well upholstered chair will last for many decades. Quality seating that was made in Victorian or Edwardian times may only now need re-upholstering. Good new traditional upholstery will last just as long as the first.

There are many more layers to a traditionally upholstered chair than you would imagine including the use of webbing, springs, hessian, coir, hand-stitching, hair, cotton flock and calico, never foam. It is a process requiring skill, patience and great attention to detail. However, the satisfaction of transforming a worn out seat into a thing of beauty is worth every minute.

I can source a specific style of chair and recover or rebuild it to your specifications. I can also help you with fabric choices and have access to wide range of samples.

My workshop is based in the pretty village of Llanelidan, close to Ruthin.
