- Fay M - East Sussex, 2 day beginners upholstery workshopI did the 2 day beginners upholstery workshop with Moji over the weekend as it is a hobby I have been wanting to cultivate for a long time. The one to one tuition format worked brilliantly as it allows you to be completely focused and not feel rushed, just totally immersed in the learning and doing. Doing 2 different styles of seat was great, stage by stage I learnt so much and had a fantastic feeling of satisfaction having used my hands to make something. Especially as its sustainable, making something new out of something old. Moji is fab. Not only she is obviously an experienced and knowledgable professional, but also warm and patient, thorough yet relaxed. A marvellous combination! I would absolutely recommend Moji and this course to anyone. “
