Spend a full day learning the gentle art of upholstery and create your own round drum ottoman — a beautiful, functional piece you’ll take home the very same day from Dolls Point in Sydney.
This workshop is warm, relaxed, and completely beginner-friendly. We slow down, unplug from our phones, and spend the day making something with our hands. You’ll learn how to build up your piece, add padding, stretch and staple fabric, and attach a side panel for that perfectly smooth finish.
Foam and wadding are pre-cut, and the internal frame is ready for you — all you need to bring is your chosen upholstery fabric. I’ll guide you every step of the way, with plenty of time for breaks, chats, coffee, and little nibbles.
Each class is capped at just two students, so you get personalised support and a calm, creative day where you’re encouraged to try something new, surprise yourself, and make something of your own.
Choose medium–heavy-weight upholstery fabric. No lightweight cotton, quilting cotton, thin denim, or stretchy fabrics.
After booking, I’ll email fabric guidance and places to shop — or you can purchase fabric directly from me at wholesale pricing.

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! :)
