5 Days. 4 Nights. One project. Me, you, and your bestie. An empowering, immersive weekend where you learn upholstery and furniture restoration hands-on and walk away with a finished piece you’re proud of, and the experience to apply what you learned to any project you may work on in the future. Plus you can bring your friend FREE to experience it all with you.

 Everything you need is here… just bring your project.

What you should know:

While we go to every efffort, including guiding you through the stripping process in advance of your arrival, to having volunteers on hand to help you through your projects, the possibility exists that you may not complete your project by the end of the retreat. Every person learns at their own pace. If you are unable to complete your project by the end of the weekend, you will be added to my virtual subscription plan for 30 days to get the support you need from home. I also have a private group where you can post your questions, tag me in a post, and I will demonstrate the skills you need to get through any troubleshooting you may need. All free of charge.

Upholstery is a very rigorous form of manual labor and does take a toll on your hands and body. If you have health issues that will be exacerbated by standing all day and pulling and lifting heavy things, this may not be the right weekend for you.

What you should bring:

Please be prepared with clothing and shoes that will be protective in the classroom. Layers for the weather, hard soled shoes to protect your feet from staples, gloves, masks, and goggles to protect your hands and face from sharp objects and furniture nastiness.

If you have specialty materials you would like to purchase in advance, please let me know and I will have them ready.
