Arlington Community Education

Do you have an upholstered chair that needs new life? Whether dog-damaged, cat-scratched, or just in need of a facelift, reupholster the piece yourself and be amazed at the transformation—and at how much fun the process can be. Taught by a master upholsterer, we’ll cover old-school and modern methods and materials for antique, 20th century, and contemporary furniture. Learn to disassemble your piece and pad and cut and apply fabric in a step-by-step approach. Small chairs, ottomans, or other small pieces only.

Tuition includes all basic upholstery materials, with the exception of Fabric & Cushions. Don’t have your own fabric? Fabrics are sold here at the shop through our fabric expert Mikayla Dows.
