What we’ll cover

Learn how to paint and reupholster a footstool which you can take home with you at the end of this full day hands-on Footstool Makeover Workshop

We will provide a footstool for you to work on and you will be invited to pick fabric from our beautiful selection.

As well putting some simple traditional upholstery techniques into practice, you will also learn how to use chalk paint, selecting your favourite colour from our range to apply to your project.

We will then explore all the options for finishing and protecting your footstool and offer several examples of creative and decorative techniques you may wish to use.

Your footstool, fabric and all other tools, paint and materials will be available and provided as part of the course.
