An Upholstery Apprentice Story
June, 2014: Almira is a wonderful upholstery apprentice who is helping me in my upholstery studio. In exchange for her help with my projects, she gets to work on her own ‘art chair’. She chose a window-back dining seat as her project, for its potential to add a unique artistic element (scroll to see the ‘After’ photos!).
