Question 3

Can I bring my own stool/piece of furniture?

Accepted Answer

No, not for this workshop. To keep everything simple, this workshop supplies everything you need to design and make your own unique upholstered stool. Everyone will work on the same timber frame as many components like foam etc will be cut to size in advance.

Question 4

Can I bring my own favourite fabric?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Assorted fabrics and trims will be supplied but if you do have a favourite fabric bring it along and if it's suitable you can use it. Upholstery fabric is best and needs to be at least 60cm x 60cm square.

Question 5

Can I get there easily by Public Transport?

Accepted Answer

YES! My worksop studio  is located on Rennie Street Coburg -half way between Nicholson street and Sydney road trams. I'm a 10 min walk from Moreland train station.  The finished stool is definitely light enough to carry home with you if necessary.

Question 6

Will you be running more of these workshops? Can I book a group party or event?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I will be running more of these events over spring and summer but usually small groups, so spots fill up quickly. If you have a group of 4-6 please get in touch to organise a private event.

Question 7

What do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

Covered shoes are a must, comfortable clothes and if you wear glasses please bring them! We will require participants to wear safety PPE supplied when using the tools.
