Want to learn more about the history and skills of furniture upholstering? Join us April 20th from 10 a.m. 12:30 p.m. for a furniture upholstery workshop provided by Jamika Smith from Teena's Legacy. The workshop consists of lecture, demonstrations, and hands-on learning. It gives you the basic skills and training for reupholstering a small to mid-size pieces of furniture. Participants will start from the very beginning. Each person will learn how to determine fabric yardage, choose appropriate fabric, tear it down (remove the old upholstery fabric), make simple repairs, re-pad and reupholster it. Professional tips and shortcuts will be covered in order to keep you interested and excited about learning how to upholster. Participants will learn how to use upholsterer's tools as well as how to substitute tools you may already have at home. Bring a small chair and fabric. We'll supply the pastries for this Saturday morning workshop. Space is limited. Interested parties can register at www.BartowHistoryMuseum.org.
