These two certainly aren’t camera shy! 🎥

We couldn’t resist capturing our own little behind the scenes moment during an open evening at the Wells & White workshop, while furniture restorer Peter Fournel and AMUSF President Ray Clarke were being professionally filmed.

They were taking a closer look at a Victorian chair, featuring beautifully restored woodwork and upholstery rebuilt by one of our talented Wells & White students.

With plenty of television appearances between them, they were both completely at home in front of the camera!

Turn the sound on to hear Ray and Peter discussing the chair and the quality of our student’s work, with a little lively chatter from the open evening thrown in!

One of those lovely, calm and focused moments in our workshop 🪑

Everyone on the AMUSF Stage 2 course was completely absorbed in their modern chair projects.

The springs are now in place and the hessian is being stapled on, but there is still a long way to go. The chairs all look similar at this stage, but each one will gradually take on its own character.

Check back over the coming months to see their transformations as the students’ chosen fabrics are added 👀✨💖

The colours in this headboard give it such a lovely autumnal feel.

Here’s a little look back at the headboard Jenna made on our recent course. She used Enchanted Gardens Azure velvet by Woodchip & Magnolia, and it looks so good with the scalloped shape and dark piping.

Jenna, we’d love to see how it looks in situ! 👏

One of the fun things about upholstery is being able to get a little creative along the way!

From choosing fabrics to playing around with the finer details, there’s plenty of opportunity to put your own stamp on a chair.

Jo decided to change the original ten deep buttons to seven, giving her chair a fresh new look while keeping all the charm of its beautiful carved wooden frame.

And what a lovely combination of colours! The soft green Linwood fabric finished with a contrasting orange trim adds a little something extra. 🧡

It’s all those little decisions along the way that make upholstery so enjoyable. And having her best friend there alongside her certainly helped too! 😊

Some chairs carry far more than their own history.

Iris’s husband had stripped this iron-back chair and painted the wood before he passed away. Being trusted to take over and complete the work he had started felt incredibly special.

From the bare wood and iron, we carefully built the chair back up and upholstered it in beautiful Colefax and Fowler Kemble Forest fabric.

Knowing the story behind this chair made every stage feel that little bit more meaningful. Iris absolutely loved the chair. 🤍

Twinning is winning!

We’ve partly rebuilt these two Parker Knoll tub chairs, then reupholstered them in Linwood’s gorgeous Wild Bird fabric. Same beautiful design, two complementary colourways… don’t they look fabulous together now!
