We’ll start with simple chairs in need of new seat cushions. Please bring a chair with you - it doesn’t have to be fancy - any old chair will do. We will go through the steps needed to tear apart old upholstery, remove old foam\/batting, and learn how to assess furniture pieces based on age and condition. Repairs will be made as needed for each individual piece.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePart 2 is for rebuilding.

If you have a chair that you’re not sure fits the class, feel free to email us a photo in advance. We can help advise. As this is an intro class, start simple! A solid wooden chair with only seat upholstery will be best. Save your antique armchair for the advanced session, coming up later this year.
