Looking for unique things to do in Sydney? This three-hour workshop will get you familiar with the basics of upholstery.
During the class, you'll learn the basic tools, materials and techniques of upholstery while working on a small basic project – a milk crate topper. At the end of the workshop, you'll have enough understanding and confidence to tackle projects on your own.
