About the workshop

Learn new skills in a practical, friendly setting

We’re excited to announce our newest class — Fix it Friday.

Join us for an upholstery workshop where you can bring in small items to upholster and give them a fresh new look. Learning new skills has never been more fun, and giving furniture a new lease of life is not only rewarding but also great for the environment.

So come on down and let’s make your old furniture look brand new again.

What it is

Small item upholstery

Fix it Friday is designed for smaller upholstery projects that can be worked on within a workshop setting.

It is ideal for people who want to try upholstery, learn basic techniques, refresh a tired item or find out more about repair and reuse.

Why come along?

Practical, creative and better for the planet

Learn upholstery skills

Pick up practical skills and build confidence working with fabric, tools and small furniture items.

Refresh what you have

Bring a small item and explore how it could be given a fresh new look instead of being thrown away.

Support reuse

Repairing and refreshing furniture helps reduce waste and gives useful items a longer life.

What to bring

Small items only

Fix it Friday is suitable for smaller items that can be safely brought into the workshop and worked on during the session.

  • A small item you would like to upholster or refresh
  • Any fabric you already have, if suitable
  • Photos of your item if you are unsure whether it is suitable
  • A willingness to have a go and learn something new
