WEEKEND WORKSHOP
Our weekend workshops are an opportunity to work on your own projects. We strongly recommend attending a beginners class at Fabric House first.
Once you have booked, we forward an email detailing what you need to bring. We have also found it handy when people photograph their chair/furniture and send this via email. You can ask questions about your project so you can be well prepared for your workshop, knowing the quantity of fabric, if you need any re-springing, webbing and any other materials required for the project. This way you make the most of your weekend.
Depending on your project size, you will always leave the workshop knowing how to complete your piece of furniture if you haven't had time on the weekend.
Workshops are held at our home in Kaiapoi  (full details forwarded to you prior to workshop).
It is a great weekend sharing time and ideas with like-minded people. If you would like to make a booking please email  bikecanterbury@xtra.co.nz and Nigel will forward all the information. Always include your contact details as handy to have
Book early so you don't miss your spot!
