• No large repeat fabric. Use inexpensive fabrics that you can be comfortable learning with
• Cushions are not part of this workshop

Prior to workshop students will need to  submit a picture of the desired project they would like to work on by email to Kimberley@kimsupholstery.com.  I will advise on supplies and fabric yardages needed to complete your chosen project piece once it has been approved for the workshop.  I want students to choose a piece appropriate for the workshop so they can have a chance to complete the project during the 3 day session.  This will also make it fair to other students as well.

Final Payment is due on the first day of the workshop. Once you have registered for the event we will give you a list of  lodging options in the area if needed. There are also restaurants in the area for lunches and other meals.
