The different types of materials used in modern upholstery
A step-by-step guide to upholstering a footstool.
Confidence to complete upholstery projects on your own

One 45 x 30 cm footstool frame, and legs
All tools and core materials needed during the workshop. Bring your own top fabric- 60cmx70cm minimum.
Expert, hands-on tuition in a small group setting
Your finished footstool to take home (everyone works at a different pace, so time permitting)
By booking this workshop, you’re also supporting our charitable work.
We are a Shepherds Bush–based charity and social enterprise that diverts furniture from landfill and incineration and uses the upcycling process to train local adults, including those facing barriers to work, education or social connection. Since 2009, we’ve been creating practical, measurable impact through work experience, traineeships and business incubation. All income from our workshops is reinvested directly into our people, programmes and the wider community — helping individuals build skills, confidence and employability while reducing waste.
Please Note:
You will need to bring your own upholstery fabric (60cmx70cm minimum). If you’re unable to source fabric, we do have a small selection available for purchase starting at £20.
