What's included in the price?
You will need to bring a piece of furniture of your choice. We would recommend contacting us prior to the course commencing to check the suitability of the piece. We’d suggest starting off with something simple. You will also need to provide fabric for your project, but don’t worry, we can help you source this and we offer a 10% discount of fabrics purchased through us. We will provide you with the tools you need to use during the session as well as handouts to take away. Please note that materials such as foam used during the sessions will be an additional cost. Tea and coffee are provided. Our workshop is located in the village of Long Ashton, with a handful of lovely pubs and a village shop, if you wish to buy lunch. Alternatively, please bring a packed lunch. There is also a toaster and microwave that students can use.
