Upholstery Tips for the Home UpholstererLooking for some great upholstery tips for your weekend project. Upholstery can be done by almost anybody with a few lessons. Reading or learning through books is a hard way to learn. Visual learning is a super way to learn and the two 8 hour DVDs below are the best I have ever seen. After 25 years of experience even I have learned a few upholstery tips that they hate to give away on these DVDs.
Ron Switchuk has mastered the art of re-upholstery by working in the trade since he was 16 years old. He began an intensive apprenticeship under the guidance of a German craftsman for four years in Vancouver, B.C. and received his journeyman certification in 1979. Following that he worked in various places adding knowledge about frame building and repairs, cutting, sewing, antique restoration, slip cover making, and all facets of the upholstery industry. Since 1988, he has taught his craft as an continuing education instructor, garnering praise for his down-to- earth style and in depth knowledge of the trade. In 1994, Ron started his own company Undercover By Design and is sought after by many designers, interior decorators and personal clients. His attention to detail, mastery of the art and congenial personality has made him popular in the furniture upholstery business. In 2007, Ron appeared on television (CH Morning Live) as an expert of the trade. His latest venture is the production of instructional DVDs covering all aspects of upholstery to pass along the expertise he has acquired. It is his goal to make the trade of upholstery easy to understand and learn so that the art can be taught for generations to come.
