Upholstering a Traditional Slip Seat with W. Mickey Callahan

Mickey_corner_chairSlip seats are upholstered frames typically used on dining as well as other traditional or period-style side chairs. In this hands-on class, students will first build a typical hardwood frame and then upholster it using jute webbing, rubberized horse hair, raw cotton batting, and muslin. Alternate methods of building a slip seat frame will also be discussed. Students will be required to provide their own hand tools and finish fabric if desired. All other materials will be supplied by the school. A separate tool list will be available on the school website. Tuition $255.00 plus materials
