What people are saying about the workshops…

“I attended a three day workshop in Northborough, MA last year with 4 other ladies and we had a blast learning and enjoying each other’s company whilst working hard. We had Kim with us all the way, and each of us having a different chair, we learned different skills watching them do their chairs. Kim helped us from the bare wood upwards until the finished product and it was a pleasure. She explained every technic we did and the correct order of upholstering our piece of furniture. Now, if we have any questions we know that she is only an email / phone call / blab away from asking her questions. I am a hands on learner so this was very helpful having Kim by my side all the way.”

“What a fun weekend. Five very different chairs, all complete and looking incredible. I enjoyed Ashfield so much. I stayed at a wonderful Air BnB owned by two artist and their dog Charlie. Each day we worked non stop, in this spacious and well lit barn, provided by our host Amy, along with incredible comfort food. Kim guided us with every detail, introduced us to new tools and tricks to give us confidence and pride in the results. Big thanks you Bill and Kim for setting this up. We are fortunate to know you.”

“The three day upholstery workshop I took with Kim from Kim’s Upholstery was fabulous! I found Kim to be energetic and knowledgeable. The class was composed of five women with five different chairs. This did not phase Kim in the least. She was able to transition from assisting on attendee to another with ease and made it seem effortless. I am very happy with my finished chair and feel confident in attempting to upholster another chair after taking this class. I know she is an email or blab session away if I have any questions. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in upholstering, beginner or intermediate. Attendees learned from Kim and the diversity of each chair being upholstered.”
