SUNBURST PANEL AND CHOU
Armand loves attention to detail and precise details are even better. Within his 2 day workshop, students will be creating a stunning Sunburst used in Half Testers or Four Poster Beds. This Sunburst will be completed in two halves and finished with a decorative Chou. Students will learn how to make a pattern, how to map it and finally use precise fabric manipulation techniques with a hammer and tacks to create a very tightly pleated Sunburst.
Please note :
*Students will need to bring 1.5 yards of a light fabric with a slight stretch such as silk or satin to achieve the best results for this workshop.

Foundations are everything!

Bruno will be explaining both whipping and spring-tying methods using techniques from post-WWII through to the mid-20th Century. Finally for those who have time, the application of a hair filled and stitched edge roll. Bruno will expertly guide students around understanding frame structures, potential weaknesses and strengths, understanding coil springs, their function, and how to choose the correct gauge and size
2 Day workshop with Master Upholsterer Greg Cupitt-Jones
CHANNELS/FLUTES
Since the 1920's the channel back or fluted back chair has been a popular finish for American upholstered furniture.
The need to understand the process, volume, and finish is important for today's upholsterers when working on older pieces. In Greg's 2 day workshop, he will be guiding students through the method of traditionally upholstering a channel back in hair. He will also be demonstrating other methods for filling with foam and cotton.
Please note:
*Students will need to bring 1 yard of upholstery weight plain fabric for this workshop.

We are thrilled that once again our venue is non other than the superb workshop and showrooms of De Angelis, Ateliers of Custom Upholstery and Fine Drapery, in Glen Head, NY. What better place to learn new upholstery skills than within a legendary family owned workroom that was started 70 years ago? Kayel and Kristine De Angelis have been so generous in allowing us to return to train in this impressive and inspirational setting.
Situated on what was once known as the Gold Coast, and is now known as the North Shore Long Island.
