Dolls House Chairs |
As a result of a throwaway line I’m working towards a small exhibition, Chairs later this year with art colleagues under the banner of RE-create Collective.
Chairs explores reuse, recycle and repair by way of practical and fanciful refurbishment of old and discarded chairs together with wall art featuring chairs.
I have taken the opportunity to learn how to fix and reupholster chairs with the exhibition in mind. It has been a slow process and I haven’t been as focussed as I had hoped to be. I have been taking apart the chairs and regluing them with the assistance of an awesome instructor at an upholstery class run at a community centre near where I live. I'm currently working on dining chairs punning on fine dining. I also plant put together a third dining chair with a fun theme.

Starting to remove fabric from my second chair. It wasn;t as easy as I had hoped. There were two layers of fabric and a huge number of tacks and staples
