Upholstery Class

*10 Week Class*

Class start Tuesday June 12th& Thursday, June 14th from 6:00 – 8:00pm

Teen & Adult

Cost: $260.00

In this 10 week class you will learn skills used in basic upholstery projects. Instructor will demonstrate proper use of basic upholstery tools and techniques used in basic upholstery work. The first 4 weeks will be a lecture based demonstration of how to prepare, breakdown, correctly measure fabric and reupholster a actual chair. This will give students the chance to see the whole process at once before they individually reupholster their own furniture.

During the following 6 weeks students will start and complete their own project. Each student is responsible to bring their piece of furniture to be reupholstered. Only ottomans, kitchen chairs, dining room chairs or piano benches may be reupholstered in this basic class. Specific pieces will be accepted at the teachers discretion. (Rule of thumb…If you can’t lift it yourself it is too big for this class.)

Just bring a note pad and pencil to the first class and please wait until week 5 to bring your furniture! (Unless otherwise specified by instructor)

All tools needed will be provided.

To guarantee your place in this class we must receive a $50 deposit by March 15th

Private violin lessons-Students will receive detailed one-on-one training on how to play
the violin, read music, and learn to recognize sounds by ear. All levels of musical experience are
welcomed, and students are required to have their own instrument on which to practice.
Not only do we want to help increase a student’s technical abilities, but they
should also foster a love for music, both of which we will strive for during private lessons.

Group violin lessons-It is just as important to learn how to collaborate with other
musicians as it is to develop your own craft. Group lessons will consist of basic ensemble
playing, potentially with multiple string parts, and rehearsals will be geared towards
a performance for friends and family. Our goal in group lessons is to generate a sense of artistic
community as we make music together.
