Learn the art of reupholstery and give your arm chair a fresh, new look. You’ll learn basic safety tips for tools and safe handling of furniture. Then, you’ll strip the existing fabric and recover it using traditional methods of tacks and curve needles to blind stitch your fabric. You’ll learn traditional methods of reupholstery that were used prior to technology like staple guns.

  • Sewing will most likely be involved but is dependent on your particular projects.
  • Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
Sutherlin, Antwan

Antwan Sutherlin’s first experience with upholstery was playing with hammers and brass tacks was in his parents’ upholstery shop. He thought it was cool to copy his dad,who was a Master upholsterer for Colonial Williamsburg. Antwan teaches traditional techniques of upholstery using tacks, wooden regulators, curve needles and threads for sewing with a blind-stitch method.
