Some good stuff coming up. May evening classes for upholstery and cabinetmaking are full, but we are putting on an extra Cabinetmaking basic skills course on Wednesday nights starting 30th May. And we have a new evening class, Chair caning, starting on Thursday 31st May and running for eight weeks. This is a great skill to have and one which could turn into an earner! Evening classes are here.
And exciting news! We have a new studio. It's a dedicated woodworking space, so the cabinetmaking classes and the furniture restoration classes will happen in there from now on. There will be fixed benches, all with vices, and some machinery, though the emphasis will remain on handskills. It is in the same building: the Lighthouse Studios, but on the ground floor.
There will be a starter weekend for upholstery beginners on 30th June/1st July. This is a taster to see if you like upholstery. Book here. If you do, you can go on to one of our other more intensive upholstery courses.
There are some five day intensive courses coming up. Furniture restoration 21 May to 25 May inclusive. This is a project based course with an emphasis on chairs. Have a look here. And there is an upholstery 5 day project based course 23 to 27 July inclusive which you can book here. We will be adding more summer courses shortly.
We are going to be launching a two year, two day a week furniture restoration course from September 2012. You can find more details here but we can also send you some more information. Contact us at stuff@theschoolofstuff.co.uk. This is in addition to the 2 year professional traditional upholstery course (one day a week) which will also run from September 2012.
The School of Stuff teaches a range of crafts – some furniture-related, others simply crafty. All demand skill and creativity - which we know you have! We run long courses, short courses, evening classes and one-off days and weekends. We are adding classes all the time, but here is our current list.
