From the immense challenges of a restoration project at the National Gallery to recreating a 1930s chair from the historic Queen Mary ocean liner, to regular TV appearances on Money for Nothing, AMUSF members have been involved in some amazing projects. Despite all that has happened in the past few months, it’s inspiring to know that the art and skills of upholstery and soft furnishings can still take centre stage in a way that give us all a sense of pride. The work of fabric walling specialist Steve Franklin provides a stunning canvas at the National Gallery. The popular Trafalgar Square museum reopened one of its largest and most visited rooms– Room 32 –this Summer after an extensive refurbishment. You can read all about the particular challenges Steve faced while reinstating the crimson cloth to the walls of the gallery on pages 14 and 15. But its not just master craftsmen who have been recreating glories of the past. Students at the Upholstery Skills Centre, inspired by a photo seen on a visit to the Warner Textile Archive, reconstructed one of the Art Deco style, mahogany framed dining chairs that once graced the iconic Queen Mary liner. Take a look at pages 8 and 12 to see how they fared. It is precisely because we need to preserve and maintain the skills of master craftsmen and encourage more students to bring their enthusiasm into the craft that the AMUSF has consistently supported and led apprentice training initiatives. Now, help is at hand for small upholstery and soft furnishing business owners who might feel the paperwork and hassle of employing a trainee is just too much trouble to make it worthwhile. See page 8 for information on the approved training agency which aims to make it easy for FIESTA members (of which the AMUSF is one) to take on an apprentice in any job. Also key to the survival of the craft is the need to raise awareness among the public, of how the skills translate into everyday life – and what more powerful way to do that than through popular TV programmes which showcase the imaginative ways in which to transform old, out-of-date and often discarded items into amazing new items for the home. Becoming a TV regular on Money for Nothing is just one way in which Leigh-Anne Treadwell, founder of the Bristol Upholstery Collective, is keeping the skills alive. As a passionate training school owner intent on passing on her knowledge, she is, along with every other training centre around the country, having to ensure that not only are her courses engaging and relevant – but COVID-safe. You can read about how she has tackled this particular issue on pages 20 and 22 where we look at her wider approach to training and ‘spreading the word’. It’s always a pleasure writing about the incredible projects and work of members, but I can’t do that without your help and input – so please, if you’re working on something you’d like to share with fellow members, do get in touch. In the meantime, stay safe, stay well – and keep up the incredible work. Until the next time…

AMUSF news roundup
ZOOM ZOOM! The AMUSF will have its first ever ‘virtual’ AGM this October. Concerns about the COVID 19 pandemic meant the board of directors felt it would be unfair to ask members to gather for the annual meeting, which will instead be held via Zoom on October 7 at 2pm. Said association manager, Manjeet Upple: “Although lockdown restrictions are easing, the way forward is still uncertain and directors felt we would get more response from members if they could join a Zoom meeting. It will be a little different and although not quite the same as seeing everyone in person, in some ways it does make attending a little more accessible. Members from all over the country can take part without the need to travel, in many cases, a considerable distance.”
David Hayes with his Freeman’s certificate
Two board directors - Wendy Shorter and Franco Marinelli - are up for reelection at the AGM. A new vice president will also need to be voted in following Penny Bruce’s resignation from the AMUSF. As she was due to serve as
president in 2021, current holder Richard Ranklin has offered to stay in post for a further year. Anyone who would like to join the AGM Zoom meeting should contact Manjeet on 01494 854920 or email enquiries@ upholsterers.co.uk for details. Scoring another ‘first’ in the virtual world was AMUSF member David Hayes who became a Freeman of The Worshipful Company Of Upholders in June via a Zoom Court Meeting. Said David: “I’m so proud to say I am the first Freeman in the 660 year history of the Upholders to be admitted online! It also means a lot to me to be invited in my own right. As many people will know, my late wife Joan Milton became a Freeman back in 2007, so we have a long connection with the Guild at JAM. My thanks go to Wendy Shorter for putting me forward.”
FRANCO’S NOT-QUITE FAREWELL Franco Marinelli, AMUSF board member and Fellow is retiring from his position as upholstery course leader at the former London Cass – now to be known as The School of Art, Architecture and Design, London Metropolitan University. Franco, who stepped down this summer, will continue to teach at the London Met University department for two days a week, where he has worked since 2012. He became course leader the following year and was responsible for introducing the AMUSF qualification to the school. “Although the course we had been running was essentially the same, we felt the AMUSF diploma qualification carried national recognition and therefore more prestige for students,” said Franco who is succeeded as course leader by Rachael South. Rachael joined the department when the AMUSF qualification was introduced. Franco himself started his career in Italy where he qualified in both traditional and modern upholstery, specialising in leather. He set up his own workshop in England in 1985 and with 40 years’
6
experience, has promoted the craft of upholstery, holding senior positions in several organisations. He has continued to pass on his skills and knowledge to a new generation of upholsterers, teaching students in his workshop as well as the university. This has included people with disabilities for the Queen Elizabeth Foundation, helping them develop their skills and achieve their independence. After nearly 20 years as an AMUSF member, he joined the board two years ago and earlier this year was presented with a Master Certificate by the Worshipful Company of Upholders, at a ceremony held at the Mansion House in March. Said Franco: “I gave up my own upholstery business a few years ago, so it has been particularly rewarding to be able to pass on the skills to a new generation. During my time at the university there have been around 100 students passing through in any one academic year and it is incredibly satisfying to watch them grow, develop, and really achieve something.
Upholsterer & Soft Furnisher September/October/November 2020
“Many have gone on to run their own successful businesses, so it is incredibly gratifying to have played some small part in keeping our traditional skills alive.” Franco is looking forward to spending more time with wife Carol, his two children and two grandchildren. As a keen watch maker and art enthusiast – he enjoys pencil art and mixed media drawing – he also plans to spend more time pursuing his hobbies.
AMUSF news roundup
HEICO AWARDS POSTPONED Heico Fasteners has announced that the annual Heico Design Awards for AMUSF students have been postponed until 2022. The awards, which have been running for the past 11 years, are traditionally announced at The January Furniture Show where winning designs are displayed on the Heico stand. Said Dave Read, general manager for Heico: “Very regrettably, we felt it was the right decision to cancel this year’s competition for The January Furniture Show 2021. With everything that has happened, it was clear students would simply not be able to complete their chairs in time. Hopefully, when normality resumes, we can get the competition up and running again – and be back for 2022 with a bang!”
MAVIS BADDELEY The death has been announced of Mavis Baddeley, a long-time member (and former board director) of the AMUSF, Fellow and once active member of the Yorkshire branch. Mavis, who had retired, ran the long established family business, Jillings Baddeley in Leeds. It was founded by her father, Harold Jillings, in 1953 and is now run by daughter Linda Chaplow. The business, which celebrated its diamond anniversary in 2013, was featured in U&SF magazine when Mavis told us of her proudest moments. She said: “Getting the Fellowship was a very special moment, but I’m extremely proud of the continuity of our business from father to daughter to granddaughter.” The business employs 12 people and predominantly works in contract and bespoke seating markets. Said daughter Linda: “My mum was the most beautiful, strong, kind, loving and generous person you could ever meet and her loss has left a huge hole in our family.” Mavis leaves husband Dennis, children Derek, Julie and Linda, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. Her funeral was held on July 17 in the garden of her home.
Upholstery Skills Centre awards
Upholstery Skills Centre awards day July 2020
On Saturday July 19, the Upholstery Skills Centre held the first socially distanced annual awards day for AMUSF qualification students. Students and their families had their temperatures taken on arrival, answered a series of health-related questions and were then kept at a safe distance from each other throughout the event. Each student’s family ‘bubble’ had their own outdoor seating area and refreshments. Manjeet Upple, AMUSF manager, presented the successful students with their AMUSF qualification certificates. Prizes for the highest marks in each of the three AMUSF qualification stages were
also awarded to the following students: Stage 1 Craft Certificate – Natalie Bolton; Stage 2 Intermediate Craft Certificate – Kate Scott; Stage 3 Diploma – Lisa Diggins. Paul Marsh, director of the Upholstery Skills Centre and AMUSF said: “Even though we had to put social distancing and other measures in place, there was a great atmosphere and all the students really enjoyed celebrating their very impressive set of results. “We’re very proud of our students’ achievements and would like to wish them all great success in their future training and careers!”
Because of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, U&SF is not carrying the usual round up of training school results in this issue. We hope to bring further news of how students around the country fared in their qualifications in the next edition.

Industry roundup
THE APPRENTICE’S SOURCER-ER! AMUSF members looking to access an apprentice without the worry of recruiting and red tape can now get all the help and support they need from the official partners of the furnishing industry’s training initiative. Skills Plus is part of The Apprenticeship Management Group, an approved training agency which specialises in the interiors and furnishings sector. It is the official partner of the Furniture and Interiors Education and Skills Alliance (FIESTA) which was created to bring together key trade associations and affiliates within the furniture and interiors sector to provide a united approach to training issues. The AMUSF is a member of FIESTA. Said Carmen Daley, operations manager for Skills Plus: “As an accredited Apprenticeship Training Agency (ATA) we act as the formal employer of apprentices placed with member companies. This removes potential administrative hurdles making it easy for FIESTA members to take on an apprentice in any job. “This service is ideal for smaller companies as we can recruit and employ
the apprentice on behalf of the host member. We also oversee all the administrative aspects of the apprenticeship, providing ongoing HR, training support, sourcing and contracting with training providers and funding agencies, and undertaking performance management reviews. The host company pays a 5% contribution towards the cost of the training course and a 10% management fee based on the apprentice’s monthly salary.” Learners can currently do upholstery up to a Level 2 apprenticeship – Level 3 is nearing completion. A craft apprenticeship programme for soft furnishers is also being developed. For further information (and a host of other apprenticeship opportunities) contact Carmen Daley on 0800 644 6447 or email: carmen@ theapprenticeshipgroup.co.uk At a City & Guilds webinar in July, new details relating to apprenticeship funding, and payments for employers who hire new apprentices were announced as follows: • Introduction of a new payment of £2,000
to employers in England for each new apprentice they hire aged under 25, and a £1,500 payment for each new apprentice aged 25 and over (this applies to apprentices recruited from August 1 2020 to January 31 2021). • Payments will be in addition to the existing £1,000 payment the government already provides for 16-18 year-old apprentices, and those aged under 25 with an education, health and care plan: £3,000 for each new apprentice recruited aged 16-18; £2,000 for 19–24 year olds; and £1,500 for individuals aged 25 and over. • Payments will be made in two instalments: 50% when the apprentice has been in learning for 90 days; and the final 50% at 365 days. • Grants will be processed through the Apprenticeship Service.

ABOARD Inspired by a photo seen on a visit to the Warner Textile Archive, students at the Upholstery Skills Centre have recreated a 1930s chair as seen on the historic Queen Mary ocean liner. Joint training school owner Yvette Dearden describes the project.
The recreated Art Decco style chair
A visit to the Warner Textile Archive in Braintree, Essex back in 2018 proved the starting point in a fascinating two-year project for students at the Upholstery Skills Centre. Warner & Sons made the fabric for the interiors of a number of ocean liners and the archive holds the second largest collection of publicly owned textiles in the UK, after the Victoria & Albert Museum. Thanks to a great amount of research in preparation for our study morning by the archivist – who unearthed a great deal of information about ocean liners and the company – we were able to see samples of furnishing fabrics that had been used on the ocean liners. Students were also able to examine original photos taken on board the Queen Mary and selected the chair they would like to recreate. Continued on p12

Ask FIRA
PERFECT Q MATCH
Steve Cotton, FIRA International’s technical specialist for flammability and physical upholstery, answers your flammability questions.
Q A
How do I get 100% natural fibre (but non upholstery) fabric, match tested?
Generally, natural fibre fabrics are not match tested for upholstery use, as they would need a surface fire retardant treatment added to stop them flaming (with the exception of wool which is inherently fire retardant). These types of fabrics are normally used with a Schedule 3 interliner which allows them to be supplied as non-match resistant fabrics. If the fabrics are being used for non-upholstery purposes then they would have to undergo the relevant flammability test. However, these are not normally referred to as a ‘match test’ as they’re not based on the calorific output of a burning match, like the test for upholstery fabrics.
10
Do we have a responsibility to add fire retardant if a customer only wants a re-cover and their fabric is not fire retardant? How robust a defence is any waiver that a client agrees to sign?
A
If you are supplying the cover then this must be fully compliant with The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 (as amended) and as the fabric supplier, you would be liable for any non-compliance. If you are providing a re-upholstering service only and are not supplying any fabric or filling, then this service is outside the scope of the regulations. It is recommended that you advise your customer in writing of the potential fire risks created by using the non FR fabric and ask them to acknowledge that you have done so.
Q
I want to replace my non-compliant furniture but can’t afford to buy new furniture. What can I do to make my old furniture fire compliant? It also has old foam in it – will I need to replace this?
A
The only way to make the furniture compliant is to replace all existing fabric and upholstery fillings with new compliant ones which are widely available. Ensure you get confirmation
Upholsterer & Soft Furnisher September/October/November 2020
from your supplier that the fabric and fillings are suitable for use in furniture as, if they are designed for non-furniture purposes, they would not meet the relevant flammability tests. There are also a large number of fire retardant sprays that can be purchased which claim to make furniture fire compliant. However these only make the fabric fire retardant, not the fillings, and as they are predominantly water based, they only make the fabric temporarily fire retardant and would not make them compliant with the regulations.
Q A
How can I sell my old furniture that has no fire labels on it? How can I be sure that it is FR?
You can’t sell your old furniture as part of a business unless it has the relevant labels. You also won’t be able to give it to a charity (or any other business) that would sell it on. You can sell (or give away) the furniture to another individual as long as this is not done as part of a business. The only way to guarantee the furniture is FR is to have it tested, however as this would require it to be dismantled and set fire to it would not leave you with any saleable product!

They chose to reconstruct one of the Art Deco style, mahogany framed dining chairs because it was felt to present something of a challenge and also quite different to anything else they had worked on as part of their AMUSF qualification course. The next stage in our quest to bring a small piece of history back to life was to design and make the distinctive shaped frame. With just a couple of old photos to work from, students not only made and then French polished the frame, they also designed the fabric which was then produced for us by The Silk Bureau. One of our tutors, Mark, gave a demonstration on traditional upholstery techniques and how they have developed over time. Our students then used these skills, and materials that were as close as possible to those originally used in the 1930s, to complete the chair, filming the process throughout. The crux of the project, which was supported by The Furniture Makers’ Company, was to bring a piece of history alive and combine this with developing additional skills. The students also built on their knowledge of frame making, textile design and film making which they are learning.
12
It has proved an incredibly worthwhile exercise, enabling students to learn about and practice traditional upholstery techniques that were used in the 1930s. As the process was also filmed, we have the added bonus of the project being on record and available as an educational resource. • Videos showing the whole process are available to watch on our website, www.upholsteryskills.co.uk

FORM One of the largest and most visited rooms of the National Gallery – Room 32 – reopened this Summer after an extensive refurbishment. AMUSF member and fabric walling specialist, Steve Franklin, was the man tasked with reinstating the dark red cloth to the walls. He told U&SF about the huge challenges involved. The sheer maths of the project says it all. Three weeks to completely transform a room measuring 37 by 31 metres using 435 metres of the finest 100% crimson cotton which needed to be cut to accommodate the 5.5 metre drop. With each wall needing to be hung in one, made-to-measure piece of cloth, it meant, for one wall alone, sewing together 27 widths of the rib fabric from the Gainsborough Silk Weaving Company – and then hanging it in one go. “When sewn together to fit each wall, the sheer weight of the fabric proved quite a challenge” said Steve who called on the help of fellow AMUSF member Steve Chapman and two of his team from upholstery and soft furnishings specialists Albert E Chapman. Together they spent two weeks manoeuvring the fabric into place. Steve – who has completed fabric walling installations at some of the most prestigious venues around the world – first went on site at the end of January and spent a week preparing the room and installing a fireproof interliner over which to hang the final layer of crimson fabric. “Given the timescale in which the job needed to be completed, I took my sewing machine on site in order to piece the fabric together for each wall – and we needed scaffold towers to get the fabric into place,” he said. Costing tens of thousands of pounds

The gallery before
The fabric starts going up
for the fabric alone, there was no margin for error, but it was the sheer enormity of fabric which needed hanging in one go that proved the greatest challenge. Said Steve: “To give you an idea of the weight involved, by the time we had hung the fabric, the stretch on each drop was 30 centimetres. “We needed to get the fabric into place without marking or stretching it and then feed it across the wall ensuring we kept it exactly straight and to the same precise tension around the whole room. The scale of the job was just huge.” Once in place, each wall needed braiding around the top and bottom of the fabric – a total of 270 metres of braid was used – which proved another time-consuming feat of endurance. “The braiding alone
Upholsterer & Soft Furnisher September/October/November 2020
accounted for about four days of the time involved,” said Steve. Now completed, the fabric walling forms a stunning backdrop to the gallery which once again displays 17th-century Italian paintings by artists including Caravaggio, Artemisia and Orazio Gentileschi, Guido Reni and Guercino. It reopened in July after a total 21-month refurbishment project made possible through the support of Julia and Hans Rausing (and to be known as ‘The Julia and Hans Rausing Room’). Said Steve: “It was an incredible project to work on and The National Gallery will be continuing its restoration project through other rooms over the course of the next two or three years.” All said, an art form in itself.

MyDecozo HELPFUL HINTS FROM
In this issue, the UK’s largest soft furnishings forum, looks at how to mark fabrics. Working with fabrics often involves the need to mark a cutting line, right/wrong side or a trimming/fold placement. In addition to the basic pin option, there are a variety of pens and pencils available – but always test them on an offcut of fabric first. Not all markers disappear from fabric: different colour variations may behave differently; and while some marks disappear with heat, others are made permanent. Tailor’s chalk: available in traditional triangular shaped pieces or sticks and in a range of colours for dark or light fabrics. Chalk pencils: make finer lines than tailor Fine quality Feathers_h:fqf 30/11/2016 15:46
chalk but are quite fragile if dropped. There are various colours on sale, including white and silver for dark fabrics, and they brush off after use. Chaco liner: like a chunky pen but filled with powdered chalk. Available in a range of colours, they are refillable (even with talcum powder for a cost-effective white line). Fabric pencils: come as standard wooden pencils or mechanical versions with refills. They draw fine lines, can be removed with a fabric eraser, but inner ‘lead’ breaks if they are dropped. Available in several colours, some include wax which is much harder Page 1 to remove.
Fabric pens: can be bought with standard and fine nibs. Susceptible to drying out so always store tip down. Usually fade over a few days but re-appear when the fabric is ironed (or otherwise heated). Others fade using water: spray lightly with a plant mister bottle, or dab lightly with a clean damp cloth. Some may become permanent if you iron over a line or mark. Not suitable for dry clean only fabrics or anything that might stain or mark if in contact with water. Some come with an ‘eraser pen’ at the opposite end. Frixion pen: a ‘standard’ erasable pen – not designed specifically for fabrics. Available in a wide range of gel colours, it has a fine roller ball nib and can be used on a range of surfaces, including fabrics. The ink is heat sensitive so will disappear when rubbed with the included eraser or passed over with a warm iron. Transfer pen or pencil: used to draw a mark or design on to paper before being, transferred to fabric using a dry iron. Can make several transfers from one ‘inking’.

Upholsterer & Soft Furnisher September/October/November 2020
MyDecozo Generally work best on light or pastel colours, but use with caution as the marks are often permanent. Bathroom soap: works really well on dark fabrics but only use where the mark will be hidden inside the finished piece or can be gently washed off with a damp cloth. Create an edge with a sharp knife to draw a line. Mini hotel soaps are really handy and easy to hold! Crease makers: use a point turner/crease maker to mark a line or fold line on fabric. Can be useful with a ruler to create folds to then press or pin before stitching. Leaves no actual mark. Quilter’s tape: narrow masking tape which can be re-used. Provides temporary lines to guide stitching or place a trimming accurately. Not to be used on embroidered fabrics or those with a nap as they could be damaged when the tape is removed. All the products referenced in the article are available from haberdashery shops or online.

SCHOOLED Students and tutors
Name of business When established Location Number employed
School of Art, Architecture and Design London Metropolitan University London Met has been teaching upholstery for nearly 50 years. Newly appointed course organiser Rachael South has been teaching there for five years London Five tutors
How long have you been doing your job? I’ve been in the furniture and textiles industry for 30 years. I studied a degree in textiles and was a Passementerie designer after the degree. I set up my own upholstery business when I decided I wanted to be self-employed. I started teaching leisure classes eight years ago and joined the team and London Met five years ago.
Professionally, who or where do you turn to for advice/a second opinion? Franco Marinelli – he’s always available for a chat. Thanks Franco!
How long did it take to really learn the skill? My father was an upholsterer, so I grew up in his workshop and, with my sisters, learned how to make buttons and piping and thought it was a lot of fun! I worked for him, on and off, while at school and uni, and again when I decided to set up my own upholstery business.
What aspect of your work do you most enjoy? I didn’t expect the rewards of teaching to be so fulfilling. It’s really inspiring to see students develop new skills.
Do you consider yourself a craftsperson or tradesperson? Both. I work in a trade which involves craft skills.
Professionally, what is your greatest frustration? Making silly mistakes when not concentrating.
What keeps you motivated? Something different every day, problem solving, beautiful furniture and fabric. And of course, students keen to learn.
What is the single most important piece of advice you would give to someone starting out in this business? Keep asking questions. If you make a mistake, take a deep breath and put it right. If you haven’t run a business before, get advice on that side of things.
How long have you been a member of the AMUSF and how important has this been to your business? The college has taught the AMUSF qualification for six years. The students recognise the importance of having a professional qualification they can feel confident taking into the working world.
What are the most pressing issues currently facing your business? I think for everyone in business, teaching or learning, COVID 19 is going to present a new set of challenges. Social distancing in workshops may mean our classrooms look very different for some time to come. Also, for small businesses, surviving the impending financial fallout from the lockdown is going to be a challenge.
Rachael South
When you talk to a fellow upholsterer/ soft furnisher, the talk always turns to....? Would you consider employing a student as a trainee? If not, why?
How do you keep your skills and techniques updated? I like to ask lots of questions; I’ve learned so much from other tutors at London Met and all the upholsterers I’ve had the pleasure (mostly) of working with. Where do you see the future of the industry? I am very inspired by the diversity of students we have at London Met, from school leavers to retirees. Everybody brings some of their own life experience and this keeps our industry moving forward in a dynamic way. What has been your proudest professional moment? I’ve had two of my original pieces of furniture acquired by the Museum of London to go on display in their new building opening next year.

THE COLLABORATIVE APPROACH
As upholstery and soft furnishing schools swing back into action after the unprecedented lockdown, U&SF magazine talks to AMUSF training school founder and TV regular LeighAnne Treadwell about the Bristol Upholstery Collective and how collaborative thinking has taken it from early days as a ‘creative incubator’ to high profile TV advocator of the craft of upholstery.
Keeping COVID safe
As the world teeters back towards a tentative normality, the Bristol Upholstery Collective is among the AMUSF training centres resuming its courses this month (September) – with special measures in place. Its newly installed, individual workstations are two metres apart with paper rolls and hand sanitisers and each unit will now have its own, rather than shared, tools, toolboxes and staple guns etc. The 16 workstations have also been designed to reduce movement around the workshop by ensuring it is the furniture that moves rather than the people. All part of the ‘new normal’ in health and safety, BUC has also been keen to preserve the critical culture of tea and cakes by asking everyone to supply their own cups and pastries. And it is the collaborative culture of the centre – currently celebrating is fifth year as
22
a collective – that is at the very core of everything it does. Explains founder Leigh-Anne Treadwell: “With a background in fine art I was used to bouncing ideas around and collaborative thinking and first got involved with upholstery as a result of working at an old jazz pub in Bristol. I’d been looking for a new creative challenge in my life, so when the landlord of the pub asked if there was anything I could do to give a bit of new life to some old seating, I gladly had a go and really enjoyed it. I then spotted a course on upholstery, enrolled and became hooked!” After qualifying, it didn’t take long for the budding businesswoman – who had previously created a craft and wellbeing social enterprise programme for people at risk of depression because they couldn’t find work – to swing into action. Said Leigh-Anne: “I originally set out
Upholsterer & Soft Furnisher September/October/November 2020
with BUC to create an ‘incubation’ space for budding upholsterers with the idea of providing somewhere people could build practices and careers by sharing resources and minimising cost. “Our first workshop was a tiny space. It has always been important to me to have a presence on the High Street so people can see our work and the craftsmanship involved. In total we incubated 12 upholsterers over three years and they all now have independent businesses of their own. Leigh-Anne soon needed bigger premises so took on an additional unit – “a big cheap space, not on the High Street; it was underground and had no windows” – where she was able to work on commissions. After two years she moved both businesses to the current premises – a big High Street, glass-fronted property – in the creative district of Totterdown.
Feature “It was while we were still in our original premises that I got noticed by the BBC’s Money for Nothing programme which I’ve now been involved in filming with, for about four years. I really enjoy this because it gives me the opportunity to vent my creativity; it’s quite intuitive and allows you to occasionally come up with stuff that’s off the wall. You need the technical know-how in order to do that but for me, it allows me to combine my technical knowledge with being intuitive and playful. “I’ve been a regular on the programme since the third series – we’re just about to start filming series 10 and series eight is due to go out this Autumn. In all, I must have made over 30 appearances on the show which is not about restoration but transformation. One of the pieces I did recently was taking a cheaply available swivel chair recliner covered in a faux leather vinyl and giving it a new lease of life – I just used brass brackets and other normal DIY stuff rather than special upholstery bits. “The great thing about programmes like this is that it gets out to the public, the message about reusing and re-loving items rather than disposing of them. Even if people don’t like what I’ve done with something – if it’s a bit too wacky and not to their taste – I think they still appreciate the approach, enthusiasm and bravery that goes in to it, and that’s what is important. It’s about teaching people not to be fearful.” It’s an approach which Leigh-Anne has always tried to engender through her teaching and mentoring at BUC. Since becoming an AMUSF recognised training centre in 2018, the enterprise has moved on to a more business-led footing while retaining the integrity of its collective roots, teaching both leisure and certificate level upholstery. All was going swimmingly until March 2020 and COVID 19. Said Leigh-Anne: “Thankfully when the Coronavirus lockdown was announced we had just secured most of our bookings – 45 of the target 50 – for the new September course. Luckily, we had channelled our energy into enrolment back in February – the team here is fantastic. So it’s all very exciting

and with the help of a government grant we were able to reorganise the way in which the workshop is configured for when our students return.” Leigh-Anne’s two tutors, Tom Evans and Harriet Page, are both qualified teachers by background – Tom having been an embroidery/textiles lecturer and
Harriet a design, technology and textiles teacher. The team is supported by business manager Alison Hunt. As well as training, the centre also produces made-to-order product ranges with a host of different surface artists, taking their 2D pieces and turn them into 3D. It also has a shop which showcases this work. Plans are now afoot, and due to be launched this Autumn, for a YouTube channel and online school which will be subscription based and there for anyone who can’t physically get to the school. Said Leigh-Anne: “If they share in our collective passion it doesn’t matter where they are in the world. Our approach and culture are very much based on collaboration. “Even during these unprecedented times, it is important for us to retain the spirit of the business and keep things as normal as possible, while also keeping people safe. Clients and students have been incredibly supportive, and everyone has worked so hard. The power of the collective has been amazing.”

STANDING More amazing pieces and problems solved, as scoured from posts across Facebook and Instagram…
Also ‘in the pink’ this Summer was Joanna Heptinstall of the Traditional Upholstery School who was ‘beeting’ herself up over finding just the right colour for a project. She said on a June 27 Instagram post: “Have spent HOURS in creative search of perfect, clear, beautiful sassy pink. Every kitchen vessel used. So far brewed many shades of beetroot, bruise and meat tones”. Trust she got there in the end.
This handsome bobbin chair, which had been riddled with woodworm, was rescued by Belle Mont Upholstery who posted the following on Instagram in June: “It was treated but the woodwork was in a sorry state, so we had to match the top fabric and cover the base to get a good purchase on the frame.” The result was clearly a winner with followers who variously commented: ‘Adore It’, ‘Stunning’ and ‘Looks Fantastic’.
Spotted on Facebook on June 7 was this amazing piece by Brass Tacks Upholstery and Gift Shop. It seems that during lockdown, the Grimshaws (Judith and Steve) wanted to cover a chaise but had different ideas on how to go about it - and arrived at this compromise. A bit of Summer fun!
Home by Homer Interiors posted the results of one of their latest makeovers as a great way to inject a little life into the home after lockdown, showing off this bright and breezy children’s room. June Homer told us that the fabric is Go-Around Sunshine by Kravet and is hung on a forest drapery wave track, blackout lined and interlined. Also putting in an appearance on @the_amusf Instagram ‘Happy Friday’ (July 3) stream was this picture of Sue Dean, a student with Wendy Shorter Interiors who was seen getting to grips with a stripey zebra print as part of a restoration project. She was clearly on the right lines as it earned 51 likes.
Sharing his first post on Upholsterers Friendly Forum (July 4), Chris McGowan attracted some 28 comments (‘Awesome’, Fabulous’, ‘Amazing’ etc) and 220 Likes with this picture that clearly had uniform appeal. “Did this for a mate” said the post. “Full strip down respray chair and put his uniform on”.
And finally, many upholsterers and soft furnishers will be able to relate to this little pearl of wisdom, posted on Facebook by one frustrated crafts person: “My latest project is 50% procrastination, 40% thinking how to do it and 10% doing it!” Get your business seen by over 15,000 people on our AMUSF social channels.

Q&A
IN THE HOTSEAT... …With Derek Caplen, Fellow of the AMUSF How would you most like to be remembered? As someone who was happy-go-lucky and good company. How would classmates at school have described you? Quite mischievous and good at a variety of sport, especially football and cross country running. And the teachers? I’m afraid to say some were glad to see the back of me – apart from my sports and woodwork teachers. Some said I could do better if I paid more attention. How did you get into this business? My class had a presentation by the local furniture trading board and the job of an upholsterer was mentioned. From then on, it’s what I wanted to become and my dad, who was in the furniture trade as a carpenter and joiner, got me an apprenticeship at his work when I was 15. What would you class as your greatest achievement? Still being in business after 42 years. Also joining the AMUSF, aged 22, when I was the youngest member in the UK. And being elected to the Fellowship. Your greatest regret? I was too busy ‘entertaining’ my class and generally joking and messing about at school. It had a very negative impact on my exams which I failed miserably but, happily, I found my true vocation as an upholsterer. Is your glass half empty or half full? Definitely half full. I am always on the lookout for new business opportunities. Who has been your greatest inspiration? My former boss, the late Ron Eldridge. When I started my own business, I struggled to get business when up against well-established, older upholsterers who
26
Derek Caplen and partner Karen
were perceived to have greater skill and experience. Ron advised me to join the AMU and take before and after photos of my work to show potential customers. It worked a treat and I later bought Ron’s business when he took early retirement. When it comes to sport do you fall into the active or armchair camp? Football or rugby? Definitely football. I used to play for my local pub team. Your perfect day? To come home and relax in the hot tub with a cool bitter shandy and then spend some time in my steam room. Pure bliss. Your desert island disc? Tina Turner singing ‘Simply the Best’. What’s the best thing about our industry? Receiving furniture into my workshop which is worn out and well past its best (and in some cases ready for the tip) and restoring it to its former glory. And the worst? Being informed that the fabric your customer has chosen is out of stock – or worse still, been discontinued.
Upholsterer & Soft Furnisher September/October/November 2020
Tell me a secret. I had my ‘15 minutes of fame’ one Friday the 13th in 1998 when I made it onto page three of the Sun for producing chairs with real football shirts upholstered on the back. Unfortunately, I was stopped from taking it further by Trading Standards as the shirts were 100% polyester and not fire retardant, even with an FR interliner. What’s in your living room? My favorite leather recliner and wide screen TV, ready to watch Southampton FC play. What winds you up? Cheap upholstered furniture retailing at £299 with no deposit and interest-free for four years. It undermines the skill and value of a master upholsterer as it gives a false idea of the cost of producing quality upholstery and restoration. Doer or talker? Both in equal measures. Best piece of advice to someone starting out? Only take on work that you have the skills to do. And always give detailed estimates or quotations.
