WEEKEND UPHOLSTERY CAMP TOUR
After a year of successful local retreats, I’m hitting the road in Spring 2024. I’ll be bringing my popular Weekend Upholstery Camps to maker spaces and relevant venues across the U.S. Why? Because you asked for it! This is a unique opportunity to offer a high-demand skill-building experience right in your community.

I attended the Spring Upholstery retreat, and let me start by saying it was more than just learning how to upholster furniture. The weekend was filled with friendship, connection, amazing food, and phenomenal accommodations at The Newton. Kymm goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels they are receiving value for their time and money. She takes immense pride in her creative community and it shows in everyone who has the privilege of learning from her. There are 100 of workshops I could have taken, but I drove from Massachusetts to take this one and I will do it again and again. When you take a workshop with Kymm, it’s more than a workshop – it’s creating memories, life skills, and connections that will last a lifetime.

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU
- Preferred date. I plan to begin my tour in March 2024 and will complete the tour by August and hope to schedule at least 6 venues before the years end.
- I’ll need access to an air compressor for up to 6 hoses. (I can bring my air compressor if you do not have this available)
- Attendees will need access to at least one industrial sewing machine. (These are less portable, but I have one I can bring if you do not have one.)
- I’ll need an open space that can hold up to 8 people, each requiring a 4’x4′ work space.
- Know any local upholstery shops? I’m eager to engage with them for a local industry perspective while we are in the area. We would love your help in connecting us.

Friday:
- Morning – Afternoon: Kymm will visit a local upholsterer for hands-on lessons.
- Evening dinner meet & greet with the participants and venue owners to discuss projects and plans. Meal provided by LullCo
