During our five day traditional upholstery course for beginners you will learn how to strip the wood on your antique chair, (either a chair with a drop-in seat or a pin-stuffed chair), and re-finish using either traditional French polishing techniques or a chalk paint and wax finish. You will then learn how to professionally strip the existing upholstery from your chair make any necessary adjustments, and then re-upholster using traditional methods and materials.
