Upholstery with a Purpose 

Summer Apprentice Program

 

In our summer program we have the capacity for 4-8 participants. RWP is a 10 week program M-Thurs from 10am-4pm (subjected to go longer if needed or if we need to add an additional day), each participant will go through hands-on upholstery instruction, fabric layout, cutting,  and demos; how to estimate and choose fabric yardage, and everything else that goes into reupholstering and reviving furniture. Each participant will learn how to revive a dinner room chair, an arm chair, and other small pieces of furniture such as in-tables, dressers etc. We will also incorporate our “I Transformed My Life,” curriculum to provide a more holistic approach to the program.

 

I Transformed My Life curriculum is designed to help each participant start the process of re-creating themselves anew. We at Teena’s Legacy provide a safe space for each participant to identify their likes dislikes, wants, passion and purpose in life. We provide a safe space to start the healing process, along with a space where each participant can confront their past and deal with their current challenges.

 

At the end of the program the participants will organize a community sale to display and sale their furniture for a profit.
