"Let me teach you how to put life back into your loved furniture..." 

Welcome to Badger Upholstery

Please see my Covid Policy on how I am making the workshop 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.

"My ideal relaxation is working on upholstery. I spend hours in junk shops buying furniture. I do all the upholstery work myself, and its like therapy"
