Bring a piece. Learn the craft. Take home something you're proud of.
This October, we're opening the Blanchetts workroom for a small-group, 8-week upholstery class with Ian.
Bring along your own suitable furniture project and learn the practical skills involved in taking it apart and bringing it beautifully back to life.
Tuesday evenings | 8 weeks | Blanchetts, Palmerston North
Places are limited and all projects are approved before enrolment.
This isn't a demonstration class.
Over eight Tuesday evenings, you'll work on your own furniture project in the Blanchetts workroom, learning upholstery skills as your piece progresses.
Ian will guide the group through the process, helping you understand not just what to do, but how to approach the different challenges you'll encounter along the way.
You'll learn in a real working upholstery environment, with professional equipment and guidance available throughout.
And at the end, you'll take home a piece you've helped transform yourself.
One evening each week
6.00-8.30PM
6th October
Limited places
Subject to approval
Send us a sketch, drawing, reference image or concept and we'll work with you to develop it into a beautifully resolved, NZ-made piece.

We understand that the work behind a beautiful interior is just as important as the finished result.
Whether we're working directly with you, alongside your client or quietly supporting your project behind the scenes, our role is simple:
To help make your design happen.
MORE TIME FOR DESIGN. LESS TIME COORDINATING SUPPLIERS.
“I'm absolutely thrilled with the work Katie and Ian have
done for my clients - it's exquisite and exactly as we pictured. 100% go with Blanchetts for custom upholstered furniture, cushions and drapery - you won't regret it!”

“The team at Blanchetts have been incredible to deal with.
Katie was my main point of contact throughout the process which included selecting style, shape and fabric for a clients headboard. Katie had great product knowledge and was prompt with all communications. The end result was
the perfect fit for this master suite. Needless to say my clients were rapt when it took pride of place in their new room. Can't wait to work on the next project with you :)”
— Manawatu Interior Designer
Whether you already have a project on the drawing board or simply want to know more about working with Blanchetts, we'd love to hear from you.
