Welcome to Badger Upholstery

As with many businesses, I have had to temporarily shut my workshop. I am planning to reopen in September. Please see my Covid Policy on how I am making this as safe as possible.

I am based in my workshop in Montpelier, Bristol. This is a vibrant and artistic area which is ideal for such a creative trade. I love sharing the upholstery skills I have learnt in the last 20 years of working around Bristol, on both traditional and modern upholstery.

Weekly workshop sessions or 2 day workshops. Bring your own piece of furniture or buy one of my footstool frames that allow you to learn a range of traditional skills.

To book please email me at karen@badgerupholstery.co.uk
