Furniture Restoration and Upholstery Courses

We currently run a furniture restoration/conservation course and an upholstery course for adults.

Furniture Conservation/​Restoration

​Day/Time: Wednesday 7:30-9:30pm
Duration: 10 weeks
Tutor: David Marshall
Fee: €140


During this course you will restore an old chair under the guidance of David Marshall, and pick up antique furniture conservation tips along the way. Class size is limited to just 12, ensuring that you receive all the tutor guidance that you require, but because of the small class numbers, places are likely to fill up quickly. Book early to avoid disappointment. If you would like to discuss the sort of project that you could work on, contact the class tutor David on 0871683166. Enrolment is directly via our office (details below).
