Feedback:

‘’I had a lovely weekend learning the techniques and skills of traditional upholstery. Guided at every step by the fabulously knowledgeable Ruth. The upholstery was great and the friendly chat throughout was just as good! All in the wonderful setting of Dukes of West Barns.  I enjoyed it so much that I did a second course. Highly recommended!’’

‘’I had an absolutely wonderful weekend at Ruth’s Upholstery workshop (upholster a stool in a weekend). She is a very patient and kind teacher, who clearly explained every step (there are lots more than I imagined!) and encouraged us all to do our very best. We were all beginners, so it was fun learning together. I was so pleased with my finished stool and I heartily recommend this course to everyone.’’
