Have you ever wanted to try upholstery and furniture painting? I’m your gal!
This workshop runs for one Saturday, from my home upholstery studio in Dolls Point(2219), Sydney and is perfect for beginners, giving you the knowledge you need to tackle your next home DIY project with confidence.
Not feeling particularly creative? No worries—I’ll guide you step-by-step in selecting the perfect fabric and matching paint colour.
You’ll also get to know all the essential upholstery tools. We’ll start by practicing with a staple gun and other tools before we dive in. The same goes for painting the footstool frame.
I absolutely love upholstery, but I know it can feel overwhelming to learn on your own. I’ve been there, and that’s why I created this course—to share the skills and knowledge I’ve gained through my own experience and working with various upholstery businesses. I’ll share with you some trick of the trade and show you where to find all the tools and materials you’ll need.
This upholstery and furniture painting course is perfect for individuals who are interested in DIY crafts and those who are looking for a creative output or get-together activity with a friend. Also a great gift for birthdays or anniversaries!
What you'll get
At the end of the course, you will bring home a unique piece of furniture you created by hand! A DIY painted and upholstered ottoman made by you :))

I find ottomans a super interesting piece of furniture for how versatile they can be. I would go and see other retailers but always end up frustrated for seeing dull colours and plain fabrics.
So I started BOBINEK with a vision of creating ottomans with interesting fabrics and happy colours that I don't see in other shops.
BOBINEK is very me! Just like the name, it means "ottoman" in Czech and that is where I am from. My name is Jana and I was born in Prague in the Czech Republic. I studied the arts and architecture of Prague which I brought to Australia.
I have been living here since 2002 and I am a proud Aussie citizen! :)
