“I started this course to try and find myself, and it has given me that and so much more.”
Helen earned an AMUSF Stage 2 distinction for her traditional tub chair and a merit for her modern armchair. We’re so proud of her confidence and commitment to sustainable materials.
Thank you for such lovely words! 💖
She’s already planning her Stage 3 projects for her final year! ✨

Wait until the end for the full transformation… 👀
What started as Adam’s vision for his own Land Rover has become a completely one of a kind build.
That beautiful blue paintwork. The rich leather interior. The tiny details throughout. And those seats? Adam actually created them from the foam up, shaping and upholstering them by hand.
The upholstery skills behind the interior were developed here at Wells & White in Kent, and we absolutely love seeing where Adam has taken them.
From the embroidered Spectre detail to the final stitching, everything works together beautifully.
We’re sure this one will become a family heirloom to treasure for years to come. 🤎🩵
It's been a busy few days. Jenna came along to our headboard course for some quality, creative time with her Mum (Liz) over on holiday from South Africa.
Jenna has only had limited time on a sewing machine and not touched one for years .....and LOOK AT THAT PATTERN MATCHING !!! A natural 👏
More pictures to follow of their final results ....

In Adam’s own words…
“Four years of blood, sweat and tears, and all of them in bucket loads, but we are there!!!”
A rather different leisure course project! Meet Tom, Adam’s beautifully restored Land Rover.
We’ve loved guiding him through the upholstery, from the rich tan leather and diamond quilting to the SPECTRE embroidery. Absolutely SMASHED IT 🤎

Well… this beauty was finished at the end of July and somehow never made it onto the page!
It was a busy few weeks, but this one was far too lovely not to share.
Such a gorgeous piece. The shape, the fabric, the detail… absolutely beautiful.
A special evening, and one we’re delighted to finally share here on Facebook. 🧑🎓✨
So much work, knowledge and personal growth led to this moment.
Our end of year show was a chance to celebrate everything our students have achieved, from the practical work they have completed and the knowledge gained through their theory studies, to the confidence they have built along the way.
For some, the evening marked the completion of their professional AMUSF qualification. For others, it was another important milestone in their course.
In this short film, we see our students receiving their awards and hear from Helen, who began her upholstery journey simply looking for a hobby, but found it gave her far more than she expected.
It captures just a glimpse of a very special evening, shared with our students, past and present, tutors, friends and families.
A huge thank you to Linwood • Fabrics, Wallpapers & Cushions , Martins Upholstery Supplies and The Pure Edit for generously supporting this year’s student prizes.
We’d also like to thank Tom Rowland for his amazing videography and Lava Media for her photography on the day, and of course the wonderful A M U S F | Association of Master Upholsterers & Soft Furnishers , Ray Clarke Upholstery & Design and Peter Fournel Antique Restoration and Upholstery for their continued support.
We are incredibly proud of every one of our students and everything they have achieved.
Thinking about starting your own upholstery journey? We’d love to hear from you. Get in touch to find out more about our professional AMUSF courses.

Sometimes you capture more than just a photograph. AMUSF President Ray Clarke and visiting tutor Peter Fournel met for the first time at our End of Year Show, and with their shared BBC backgrounds and love of traditional craftsmanship, it was lovely to see them hit it off straight away.
