Have you got a small item of furniture you've been wanting to give a new lease of life? Join the one day workshop where you can bring your own project and learn how to strip it down and rebuild it. With just three people per class, you'll get calm, friendly support as you try a range of techniques and use both hand tools and machinery to transform your furniture. You will also get to take inspiration from everyone else's projects - it's a fun way to learn and spark ideas for other projects. It costs £130 per day and the class will run from 10am-4.30pm. What you'll learn • How to assess your piece: what's worth keeping, what needs replacing. • Safe stripping techniques to remove old fabric, tacks and staples without damaging the frame. • Webbing, padding and stuffing basics. • Cutting, measuring and pattern-matching your new fabric. • Tool confidence- using staple guns, tack lifters, hammers and scissors safely. • Stapling, tacking and tensioning for a neat finish. • Adding trim or braid and finishing the underside. • How to plan your next project and choose upholstery fabrics that last. No experience needed and all tools are provided. Bring your furniture and upholstery-grade fabric. Foams and other fillings are available to buy from the studio. Need fabric? There is a small range of fabrics available to buy here or order from the studio sample books in the weeks before your workshop - just mention it when you book. Hot and cold drinks and snacks will be provided and we'll pause for a 30-minute lunch. There's a fridge, microwave and kettle available, plus a café on site. The studio is located in RogArt Street Campus, Glasgow, just a 4 minute walk from Bridgeton train station. There is free on-street parking outside the building. The studio is located on the fiat floor and there is a lift for access. Ready to have a go? Get in touch via email along with a photo of your piece of furniture and I'll confirm it's suitable for a one-day makeover. hello@comfortablysprung.com
