This morning workshop will cover sharpening of woodwork chisels, gouges, plane irons and turning chisels in order to get the best results from your tools.

Bring along your own woodworking tools to sharpen if you have them, although there will be tools available on the day for demonstration.

Join experienced upholsterer Mark Swain from the Little Furniture Shop for a day working on your own project. Your tutor will be on hand with expert guidance to help you revive your chair, stool or other portable piece of furniture.

There will be tools to borrow and a variety of sundry items like webbing and tacks available to buy, but please bring along your own furniture, stuffing and fabric, and any tools you are already using. By the end of the day you will have moved your project forwards and learnt some new upholstery tips and techniques.

You don't need any previous upholstery experience - all levels are welcome.

A light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.
