Description
Modern upholstery fundamentals is a course based on video’s tutorials and f.a.q’s. You will start with a simple but yet effective exercise. A chair with a plywood seat and backrest. After that you will be building your skills up. Step by step and object by object. The course is accompanied by a competence matrix. It will tick all the boxes. If you are familiar with upholstery already this course could bring you some added value, as you do not have to follow all steps. You can also pick and choose the skill you want to learn which is listed in the competence matrix.  In the first section of this course there will be five different ways to approach a dining room chair for re-upholstery. At the end of the first section you will find a Novel about Suzanne who wants to become an upholsterer.What you will learn in the first section:Master basic upholstery skills with high quality finishingsRe-upholster various types of dining room chairsUse Upholstery toolsReplace webbingReplace foamApply upholstery fabricFold the corners of the fabricDuring the second section of the course I will take you through a lot of industrial upholstery machines and tools.
