About the Workshop
Set in the gorgeous 4 acre Walled Garden, originally created around 1830, now restored into a peaceful, well maintained and beautiful garden which is now a popular local visitor attraction and resource for horticulture, education and enjoyment.
The Walled Garden consists of two main areas, the fully working kitchen garden and the ornamental pleasure garden which are separated by a yew hedge. The site also includes a run of 8 fully refurbished victorian glasshouses, several outbuildings, 3 ponds and the gorgeous Apé Bars Café in the central glasshouse space.
You will be able to choose the style and height of your bun feet (provided) and you will learn how to make and upholster a gorgeous footstool. You will paint or wax the bun feet in a colour / shade / style / height of your choice to complement your fabric. You will finish your footstool during the day to take home with you.
For You to Bring
All tools, legs/feet, foams and materials to make your footstool are provided and are included in the price except bring a 1 metre square piece of your favourite fabric to cover your footstool. Should you need any guidance with this, please get in touch.
Please bring some lunch if you don’t want to purchase from the café.
Please come in comfortable clothing which you don’t mind getting marked or please bring an apron. Also please wear comfortable shoes.
