The Upholstery Experiment

A Graphic Designer must always keep learning … and embrace design challenges for print, web or manual craft! I have always wanted to learn to reupholster a chair. I found this great channel-back chair with wood trim, probably from the 50’s.  It is comfortable to sit in with its curved back and side arms. It is a classic and clean design … but needed to be reupholstered. I am taking this opportunity to embrace the challenge. I have enrolled in a class to learn to reupholster this chair. There are about 8 – 10 other students, each with their own chair-challenge.  Last night was my first class.  My hands are sore from pulling the fabric off, removing the tacks and gluing the lose joints (after using the mallet convincer).  It is tightly drying and ready for my next class!

Cheers to all who Embrace Challenges!
