Great/Inexpensive Upholstery Course locally.


Boots

Recommended Posts

Classes are held at the Thomas Carlton Centre in Peckham, and run by an experienced upholsterer and patient teacher. I am a student on her course.


Currently Tuesday afternoon session (1-3.30pm) has space for new learners. Anywhere else these types of courses cost thousands, but this one is only ?97 for the whole term (10 sessions of 3.5 hours) if you're a new learner. I'm giving it a genuine thumbs up and would encourage anyone with an interest in furniture to come and join the class.


You can be a total beginner or a experienced hand, Jan's teaching is individual, and you'll come away with one or two upholstery projects, and the skills to complete more on your own if you have the interest. Next class is tomorrow 8th Jan at 1pm, or you may be able to join in the following week if that's too soon. You'll need to bring a chair with a "drop-in" seat - eg like a dining table chair with a seat you can pull out and take with you.


Call The Thomas Carlton Centre on 0207 358 2100 to book for Tuesday pm's class.

I just attended this upholstery course for the first time and it was great. Jan seems like a very good teacher and it is very good value for money. There are still some spaces left on Tuesday afternoons between 1-3.30. There are 8 sessions left this term which is enough time to complete a project. If you joined for next week you would only pay for the 8 classes left (not the whole course).


For more information call the Thomas Carlton Center on 02073582100.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
