Imagine a one-on-one or a group experience with your friends learning to upholster a chair in my studio in VC

Taking bookings now for next year.

Want personalised one on one or small group tuition?

My studio is located in historic downtown Virginia City, so this is a great opportunity to book a private "experience" and perhaps include your friends for a getaway and learn some upholstery skills while your at it.

VC is great location with plenty of accomodation options, things to do and see its a great way to learn a new skill and have some fun.

What you’ll learn (hands-on, step-by-step):

  • Get personalised hands on tuition working on your supplied chair or  

  • Working with leather, cowhide, fringe, and decorative nails

What’s included:

  • Private or small group 

  • Tools & most supplies on site (bring your piece or use a provided frame—varies by event). 

  • Foam and fabrics/leathers/hides are additonal and to be purchased on the day - we have a few different selections (or you can bring your own)
  • Clear checklists and take-home workbook so you can repeat the process at home

  • Have your piece packaged up and shipped home if you are flying in.

What’s NOT included:

  • Chair repairs and restoration - if you are bringing a piece it must be torn down, repaired and refinished. But dont worry we have your back, when you book your spot you will receive a link to some tutorials on how to complete those tasks.
  • Foam and fabrics/leathers/hides are additional and are to be purchased on the day - we have a few different selections (or you can bring your own)

If you’ve spent hours pinning western-style chairs, this is where you stop scrolling and start building. You’ll head home with a finished piece and the confidence to do it again.

And when someone asks, “Where did you get that?”
You get to say, “I made it.”
