Vandra Iles reviewed: Traditional Upholstery 1-Day Introductory Course

"Brilliant course. I learnt so much in one day. Jill is an excellent teacher who has a lot of knowledge behind her which she uses to explain and demonstrate techniques, this she does patience and understanding. I would highly recommend her course to anyone wanting to learn upholstery. "

Cheddar Upholstery School responded:

"Thank you so much, Van, for your lovely review. I am so pleased you enjoyed the workshop and it was a pleasure getting to know you and helping you to create a lovely chair in a day! I wish you well with your continuing upholstery journey and I am looking forward to seeing you next month! Best wishes Jill"
