Your item can stay in the studio overnight rather than carry it back and forth as you would for weekly evening classes.
Not sure where to start?
Send us photos of your potential projects or choose from our kit ready projects.
When we receive your deposit booking, our Studio Coordinator will send an invoice for the remaining £500 and will request your project ideas & choices.
They will also help you prepare for your week, estimate fabric amounts, the time your project will take and advise on suitable options to make the most of your week...
*Price includes upholstery materials up to £75 - you'll need to purchase your fabric in advance and bring it with you - we can recommend online suppliers as well as local fabric shops.
Choose from a list of our usual projects, including the kit ready footstools, French Floor Cushion or of course you can choose to bring along a chair (or two, or a few!).
Example: Monday & Tuesday you could complete the ECO footstool, and make the most of the remaining 3 days to bring along a winged armchair to recover, or the dining set to complete.
Places are limited - early booking in advance is recommended to guarantee you a place!
