How the upholstery classes came to be I started learning about upholstery in 2008, after having accidently enrolled on a certified course, instead of the leisure evening class I thought I had joined... Becoming immersed in the craft and three years later, now qualified, I started work on upholstery commissions and teaching. My particular interests include restoring pieces in a manner and style sympathetic to the era when they were made; iron back Victorian armchairs and signature designs.

Porcupine Upholstery

Dunfermline

Porcupine Upholstery offers a specialist upholstery service, working with both traditional and modern materials. Furniture made pre 1950 was made to last, with wooden frames using traditional jointing methods of dowel and glue and covered in the sturdiest of fabrics. Padding was horsehair. Working with any piece made to these methods, proprietor Paula Graham can usually repair, clean and re-use the original materials or recreate the original effect. Every refurbished piece will meet all current Fire and Safety Regulations, and all fabrics used will have the best possible durability, as measured by the Martindale Rub Test. This internationally recognised test uses discs to rub sandpaper or wool across a fabric, to assess its ability to withstand wear and tear in either domestic or commercial contexts. You are assured of a quality finish that will provide pleasure and utility for decades to come.

Bletchley

Having been in the upholstery game for thirty plus years, I have learnt to appreciate the true beauty of furniture and how it is made. In particular the more vintage styles, they are robust comfortable and built to last ; unlike a lot of the modern items on the market today. For me personally they are a lot more stylish and have a lot more character. For these reasons I am very passionate about bringing them all back to life and take great pleasure in the restoration of every single piece . I would rather take My time to do this, than see so much of it thrown away to landfill, especially when I am aware of the quality and structure of frames and know that it is just a matter of a little Tlc!. Furniture restoration is not always about a more cost effective option, so this is something that needs to be considered when choosing re-upholstery verses buying new. The whole idea is about putting your own stamp on a piece of furniture, for example , Does it have sentimental value, is it too good to part with ,how long will it last. These are all perfectly understandable questions and I can tell you that yes it sometimes will be the same cost as buying new or even more, however once you have invested in having the work done , we can reassure you that every care will be taken to provide you with the best quality service and workmanship, right from choosing your fabrics and any other finer details subject to requirement, ensuring you will be 100% happy and satisfied with the end result .

Peak Upholstery and Furnishings

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.

Sarah Louise Dix Upholstery

sarah louise dix upholstery

Surrey

Sarah Louise Dix Upholstery was formed in 2005 by Sarah Dix. The business comprises of the Couture Label, the Pink Label, SLD Upholstery Services and upholstery courses & workshops. The Couture Label evolved from fusion ideas and specialises in the design and upholstery of quality vintage furniture inspired by the construction and form of clothing. The label’s designs are part artwork part furniture creating highly individual finished pieces. Some designs physically incorporate a vintage garment creating a surreal air while others have structural elements such as corsetry, the Corset Chair, or tailoring. Sarah’s furniture was shown at the London menswear show Stitch in February 2010 on the Blaqua menswear stand and were stocked at their shops in Newburg Street W1 and Kings Road SW3. In November 2013 Sarah bought an antique chaise longue from Katherine Higgins on BBC Put your Money Where your Mouth Is and reupholstered it in red velvet and faux fur with a corset back. Then in February 2014 She sold the Corset Chaise to Jeff Salmon on the Channel 4 TV programme Four Rooms for £1200. 2010 saw the launch of the Pink Label. The Pink Label is the diffusion range and produces the Corset Chair at a more affordable price. The original Corset Chair design has been simplified, the frames are new exact copies of the original Victorian shape and are upholstered using modern materials. Sarah also sold the chairs at Follet in Petworth, Sussex in 2012. The Upholstery Courses were introduced in January 2012 and run for ten weeks. The first teaching venue was at The National Trust property the Barge Building Shed. Dapdune Wharf. Guildford. Sarah had a residency there and courses run throughout the year in stunning surroundings, on the banks of the River Wey. She also launched courses in the studio space at The Art Works in East Horsley. This was a unique space selling contemporary arts and crafts. Other course locations were in Farnham, Grayshott and Cranleigh Arts Centre. Once Sarah was able to take on her own space in Godalming, the courses ran inhouse from then on. The spaces include Studio 22 and Bargate House and the current property in Farncombe. The courses are very popular and often over subscribed. Sarah also runs Beginners Footstool day workshops once a month on a Saturday. The workshops give a great introduction to upholstery and helpful when considering undertaking a ten week course. SLD Upholstery Services offers a full reupholstery service for clients. This service has been running alongside the design side and courses from the beginning. The workroom now has four professional upholsterers working on various pieces of furniture for customers. This can range from a cushion cover to a three piece suit. The company has undertaken work from a variety of people such as titled Ladies, artists to royalty, Pop Stars (a pink latex bed for Nicki Minaj’s world tour 2018), partners in top London banks and Mrs Judge from around the corner. She gets to visit the most amazing houses including one once owned by Chris Evans and Mary Wondrausch's unique home crammed with her pottery. Sarah continues to expand the shop and fabric accounts with fabrics available from fabric houses such as Designers Guild, Romo, Osbourne & Little, Christian Lacroix.
