peak upholstery and furnishings
Derbyshire.
Peak Upholstery and furnishings is run and managed by Angie Britton, on the
outskirts of the small town of Matlock, in Derbyshire. Angie has been making
bespoke (made to order) soft furnishings and loose covers since the late '80's
and upholstery since the mid '90's. She has professional qualifications in
upholstery and loose cover making plus teaching qualifications and plenty of
experience of teaching adults in these subjects. As a teacher she feels strongly
that when you are learning something new it is important to undertake a project
that you can complete on the course and one that is not beyond your level of
skill - it is no use deciding to make a loose cover, if you have never sewn
anything since you left school! It is also important to return home with your
newly learnt skills and continue to use them. Try to make sure that on your
return home there are similar projects waiting to be undertaken. The courses are
aimed at students of all skill levels, from those wanting to start their own
business, to those just wanting to improve the quality of what they make in
their own home and from those who have never sewn at all, to those who are
already accomplished but want to extend their knowledge.
