If you're new to the world of upholstery and furniture making then start right here. The Facelift Academy beginner lessons will help you get familiar with the tools, materials, skills and important health & safety practices before we dive into some practical workshops
What you will learn
The beginner lessons start out in the 'classroom' with some important knowledge on all things upholstery and furniture making. You'll get business advice from an expert that has walked the walk before we show you how to work safely and ensure your finished pieces comply with regulations.
We'll bring you up to speed with the tools and materials that you will get your hands on in future lessons and show you how to prep your workspace and your equipment.
Practical lessons within the beginner course will show you how to fill cushions, reupholster a dining pad, strip down a sofa and set you up with some basic sewing skills. These lessons are aligned with what you will learn if you were to start out in the industry and prepare you with the basic skills to stack more advanced techniques as you work through our lessons.
