The School of Upholstery, led by master upholsterer Alex Law holds an exhibition of students' work featuring Prinfab's printed textiles.

AMUSF is an organisation who offer upholstery accreditation and support for those in the upholstery and soft furnishing industry. Members must pass a number of requirements, including having worked in the industry for 3 years or more.

The School of Upholstery, led by Alex Law, is one of only a few schools in the UK who are AMUSF certified and offer both professional grade AMUSF courses and leisure classes.

Alex Law is an experienced master upholsterer who has excelled in the upholstery industry for over 30 years and has written two books on the subject, Quick and Easy Upholstery and The Upholsterer's Step-by-Step Handbook.

Under the experienced and skilled eyes of the School of Upholstery, students flourish and create stunning professionally finished pieces for personal and commercial use.

Seams Random by Caroline won the "Best in Show Stage 2" award with fabric printed by Prinfab and Josie Claughton won the "Best in Show Stage 1" award.

Students were guided to design and digitally print their own custom designs onto fabric and then use this to reupholster their final pieces of furniture. This collaboration between traditional upholstery techniques and cutting-edge digital printing technology combined to make some truly stunning finished pieces.
