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.

Just look at those proud faces… and so they should be!

A few of our upholstery students celebrating everything they have achieved this year with their completed projects.

What a way to start the summer holidays!

More photos still to come…

What a fantastic turnout and a buzzing atmosphere at our end of year show. It was lovely to see our students celebrating with their family and friends, alongside former students who joined us for the evening.

A special thank you, as always, to our AMUSF President, Ray Clarke, for joining us and presenting the students with their certificates, and to our guest tutor, Peter. We really appreciate you both being there.

We’re incredibly proud of everything our students have achieved this year, and it was so wonderful to hear the examiners say the standard of work was exceptionally high. What an amazing reflection of all the hard work that’s gone into this year!

Now go and enjoy a well-deserved summer break. You’ve earned it! We can’t wait to welcome those of you moving on to the next stage in September, refreshed and ready to get started.

We’re taking a few days off now, but we’ll be back on Monday to share more photos and videos from the evening.

Love,
The Wells & White Team 💙🩷

✨ It’s tonight! Our Summer End of Year Show & Open Evening starts at 6pm ✨

These photos were taken just before the finishing touches. The furniture is now complete, and we’d love you to come and see them for yourself.

Come and meet our students, chat with our tutors, celebrate this year’s graduates 🧑‍🎓 and say hello to Ray Clarke, President of the AMUSF.

We’ll have drinks and nibbles, so pop in, have a look around and enjoy the evening.

If you’ve ever thought about learning upholstery, or you’d simply like to see what our students have been working on over the past year, we’d love to welcome you.
