Cushions are one of the simplest ways to transform a room, and they can be made in every shape, size, and fabric imaginable. Over this 4-hour workshop you'll learn the core techniques behind great cushion making — skills that, once mastered, you can adapt endlessly to create your own unique designs. Some of our past students have gone on to turn these very skills into their own small businesses!
