The project assessment is a vital one-to-one session where you can discuss your upholstery project with your tutor. The session runs for 30 mins at 13:00 most Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays. Please bring your chair to the session. If you don't already have a chair. I may have one for sale or we can discuss where you might be able to source one. We would discuss time scales to upholster your project in conjunction with your experience and any personal reasonable adjustments you may require.

Maker
I trained as a cabinetmaker 50 years ago. As a mature student, I obtained a first class honours degree in antique furniture conservation and restoration. I set up my business, Peter White Furniture, where for the last 20 years I have been restoring and upholstering antique furniture for clients. Now in my upholstery studio, and under the name of 'The upholstery tutor' I offer upholstery courses where students will learn to upholster their own chair using traditional techniques and materials. Based in a rural setting overlooking the Warwickshire countryside.

If I have a cold or cough I will contact all students the day before, or earlier, and cancel the session. I will then reschedule that session, with you, to a date after I've recovered.
Each year from the 6th April the price of my sessions will increase by a small amount to cover the increased prices of my overheads.
