General information

We keep a number of upholstery frames in stock for those without a piece of furniture.

All materials except the main fabric are kept in stock and a charge is made at the end of each course for the materials each student uses. You are however welcome to bring all your own materials with you if you wish.

We have 3 sewing machines - A domestic machine, a small industrial suitable for soft furnishings and a heavy industrial walking foot machine, suitable for upholstery and bulky furnishing work. None the less students still sometimes prefer to bring their own machines with them so you are most welcome too - better the devil you know!
