Wow, what a year! It’s the school break at following a successful assessment, exhibition and awards for our diploma students.

As well as mini-adventures in the van, I’m currently refurbing the kitchens and bathrooms at - I’m so ridiculously excited to be painting old kitchen cabinets today…. The ‘up’ lifting colour scheme is coming together nicely.
I can’t wait to show you guys the transformation and welcome you to our happy place.

I have a newsletter scheduled for Friday 6pm with an update on courses available to book from September 2025 - 2026

My newsletter also keeps you up to speed with what’s happening in the Upholstery School and beyond… it’s worth signing up as I’ve not posted much on social media lately - I have my phases but to be honest, I’m having a nice time not!

You can visit Www.bristolupholsterycollective.com to sign up to newsletter.

Thanks to and from the POCAST for the photo 😋… there aren’t many photos of me with the not so new hair transformation… it was so mischievous fun welcoming you to the studio!

Hope you are having a lovely summer everyone ☀️ see you in September!

She’s on repeat! 😆 … did you catch tonight’s episode of David & Jays Touring Toolshed on BBC One ?

Absolutely loved working with this awesome crew, the fantastic makers and of course, our favourite tinkerers - and Sir David Jason.

What legends. What laughs. 😄🥰

Funnily enough we discovered the TV show logo stickers on a whole bunch of tools and a sewing machine in the workshop today! The branding must of been in shot on set during filming 🤣🤣🤣
