We stock the above items (apart from the fabric which will be your choice). They can be purchased on the day if you don't have your own. What is the difference between this and the full-day class? With the half-day class, you should bring your own dining chair so you can get practical experience. David will pick one chair to demonstrate on and you will be able to reupholster your seat with help from David.
