I still remember upholstering my very first piece… that mix of excitement and the proud moment of thinking, I actually made this.
That’s exactly what I love sharing in my Bamboo Bench Upholstery Workshops. You don’t need experience, just curiosity and a willingness to try something new. I’ll guide you step by step, and by the end, you’ll walk away with your own finished bench (and a whole new appreciation for upholstery).
In this calming, beginner-friendly full-day workshop at Dolls Point in Sydney, you’ll create your own beautiful bamboo hallway bench (90cm x 26cm x 48cm) with a freshly upholstered top cushion — complete with hidden storage.
Your bamboo bench frame will be ready to go, with foam and dacron pre-cut. Together we’ll focus purely on upholstery: you’ll learn how to glue foam, add wadding, stretch and staple your fabric, and create a soft, inviting top bolster. No sanding or painting — just pure upholstery.
With only 2 students per class, the day stays relaxed and supported. You can learn at your own pace, take breaks, sip coffee, and enjoy the quiet satisfaction of making something meaningful with your hands.

I’ve always found the ottoman such an interesting piece of furniture because of how versatile it can be. But whenever I went looking for one, I’d end up frustrated by the same dull colours and plain fabrics.
So I started BOBINEK with a simple idea: to make ottomans and benches with interesting fabrics, happy colours and a bit more personality.
Since then, BOBINEK has grown into much more. I now make pieces to order, reupholster existing furniture and work on commercial projects, but the idea behind it is still the same: ottomans don’t have to be boring.
BOBINEK is very me. Even the name has a personal connection. “Bobinek” means ottoman in Czech, and I’m originally from Prague in the Czech Republic.
I’m Jana, and I make everything from my studio in Sydney. I love helping people choose their fabric, colour, shape and size, and seeing an idea turn into a finished piece that feels completely at home in their space.
