Welcome Andrew!

Welcome Edwin!

Hi @April Palmer and welcome!

My Win this week as a newbie to skool; showing up and engaging with @Paul Sirvinskas and @Tim T . Learning from our conversation and sharing space already - thank you both

Hi everyone, thanks for the warm welcome! I'm an upholsterer with over 25 years of experience, and I've worked with everything from curb finds to luxury trade furnishings; residential, commercial, antiques, auto and marine. Largely self-taught in my business with a love of decor/textiles in the US, I’ve also studied methods of restoration in the UK. I’m excited to share my knowledge and expertise here. My community will be a space for us to learn and share how to identify quality furniture, fabrics, design trends & styles through a professional upholsterer well familiar with stripping something down to what’s hidden, or “what lies beneath”. We'll (un)cover everything from detailed project demos and how-to's to lectures on textiles, tools, and sourcing, to easily understand how it all effects cost of a given item, it’s labor, and life-cycle. Together our community members can make informed decisions, good for themselves, their clients and the planet. I can't wait to geek out with you all and help craftspeople, designers and consumers know more about this important aspect of interiors every day!
