This isn’t “reupholstering.” This is Craft.
Upholstery is structure, precision, and skilled labor—built layer by layer, by human hands.

You’ll learn how to think like an upholsterer—so you can create work that lasts, feels professional, and looks extraordinary.
Why have ordinary when you can have extraordinary?
Some pieces invite conversation. Others speak for themselves.
A clear, repeatable upholstery process you can use again and again
Confidence using tools, materials, and techniques the right way
Designer-level finishing details (the part most people skip)
A restored chair that looks like you paid a pro—because you learned from one
