Learn how to make Chair Art with Jenny Ellis

I'm so excited to share all I have learned about the world of Niche Upholstery! The accumulation of all I have learned is here at your fingertips, literally! My background in dressmaking, knowledge of chair construction, and affinity for beautiful fabrics will all be revealed to help you achieve some amazing results as a Niche Upholsterer. No matter what your budget is, or how slow or fast you learn, I have something to fit everyone's needs!

All my virtual classes will be accessible to you 24/7 when you sign up for any of my offerings. Go at your own pace, for as long as you want, as many times as you want. And if you get stuck, I am just a click away to help you with your questions.

Whether you want to make your own personal pieces, or sell your newly created "Chair Art" to the public, my knowledge will get you there faster and easier than you thought possible.

How it works

Each Category will have several learning modules in each, with short videos and step-by-step information easy to digest.

You can watch them over and over as many times as you like.

Beginner Bundle & Beyond

In my Beginner Bundle Classes you will learn all the "ins and outs"of creating your very own first upholstered pieces. If you have never tried upholstery before, I'm here to tell you, you can do it! You will need very little tools to start, and most things are in your tool box right now! Add more tools to your bag to make your work easier, and you WILL get more confident. Links to all my favorite tools will be just a click away. When you do your first piece you will want to do more. You will definitely want to move on to my Designer Secrets and More classes as you grow more confident!

If you already have some knowledge of upholstery, but want to do something SUPER creative...my Designer Secrets and More Classes will definitely interest you! For the first time I will unlock all my unique designs and share all my favorite tricks and methods to create upholstery projects with a WOW factor. I'll show you what you need for each project, just like ingredients to a recipe. My Unique Upholstery Secrets will be shared in short video modules and step by step format. Unlike the basic upholstery classes, each individual design in these modules will be taught so you can apply it to ANY upholstered piece. I will be focusing on the "Design Know How" and share with you how to make, attach and finish each creative design. Also in this course you will learn why using the right tools will always make the job much easier. All the links for tools will be at your fingertips! You'll enjoy my unique process of visualizing your chair with a purpose, from beginning to end. Resources for fabrics and all the decorative findings will be shared from my favorite sources. When you are done you will definitely create designer pieces that will stand out in a room.
