Three Day Small Chair Upholstery Workshop for Beginners

Taught by: Kim Chagnon

Workshop Fee: $700.00

This hands-on small chair upholstery workshop is packed full of learning opportunities. Learn how to reupholster a chair while working on your own project. These workshops are designed for beginners and get you started on learning how to reupholster a bare chair frame.
When you’ve completed the three days, you will be taking away much new knowledge and confidence to try more pieces independently. We limit the class to only six students so you will have one-on-one instruction. By the end of the workshop, you will have a finished piece to be proud of. Prior to this small chair upholstery workshop, students must submit a picture of the project they would like to work on for approval. Choosing the right chair to reupholster will help them complete the project within the allotted time frame. Please email pictures to me, Kim Chagnon, at kimberley@kimsupholstery.com. As you tear down your chair, take notes of the supplies you will need to bring to the workshop. I encourage you to refer to this printable tools and supplies list as well. Students are responsible for obtaining all their own supplies, tools, and fabrics for their project. If you have any questions about the supplies needed, please email Kim. Fabric yardage can be determined by watching the “Measuring for Fabric Yardage” video, which is available here: https://kimsupholstery.com/measuring-for-fabric-yardage/
