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

Welcome to Badger Upholstery

I have decided to keep the workshop shut until Easter - I will keep an eye on the news and Gvt advice. Keep in touch and see you later this year!

Trestles for sale

NEW - We are proud to be selling custom made trestles that we use here in the workshop. Ideal for working at home or in your own workshop, or as a gift for someone attending a workshop who wishes to carry on at home! Made to order. See the Trestles page for more details

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.

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