Hands-on creativity with beautiful results. Learn upholstery, lampshades, leatherwork, or bring your own project, guided by an artisan who loves teaching and connecting makers.
Make Something Beautiful — One Stitch at a Time
Welcome to My Studio
Hi, I’m Rhonda, upholsterer, maker, and creative teacher. The Whimsical Chair began with my love of beautiful fabrics and restoring family heirlooms.
Today, it’s a space where creativity, craftsmanship, and community come together, one chair, one cushion, one lampshade, one joyful workshop at a time.
Creative Classes
Step into a space where imagination meets fabric. Whether you’re learning to tuft leather, sew a lampshade, or give an old chair new life, my classes are small, personal, and hands-on.
Journeys in Craft
Over the past three years, I’ve explored workshops across England, connecting with traditional upholsterers and bringing back techniques, inspiration, and stories to share with my students in the U.S. Join me in upcoming workshops, follow my travels, or collaborate on a creative project, there’s always more to learn and share.
Whether in a class or while collaborating on a project, I love bringing people together to share skills, inspiration, and creativity. Join a workshop, connect with fellow makers, and be part of a growing creative community.
