You will learn and practice key upholstery skills and come away with a beautifully reupholstered project. What to bring to 1st class: 1) Upholstery Project  To get a taste of upholstery before commiting to a long-term project, beginner students are encouraged to bring a smaller piece of furniture, such as a dining chair, ottoman, or upholstered bench. Since your project will travel back and forth to class with you, please be mindful of your project’s size. Before your first class, please send a photo of your project to bluebenchdesign@gmail.com for feedback. 2) Upholstery Tool Kit   (1) CS Osborne Upholstery Hammer  (2) Sharp Scissors (3) 8” Long Nose Pliers  (4) Tack Lifter (5) Upholstery Staple Remover The tools are available for purchase on Amazon.

In class, we will discuss fabric yardage requirements, fabric attributes, and sourcing.  Other upholstery supplies you may need are available for purchase in class (tacks, batting, piping, and more).  Payment Details Classes are $80 per session and prepaid in bundles of four ($320) at the time of class sign up.
