Now, You Can Create Your Own One-of-a-Kind Chairs...

If you're looking for a creative outlet that combines design and tactical skill development and results in a stunning conversation piece that can be displayed and used in your home, gifted, or even sold for profit - look no further than our online upholstery classes from The Artful Chair.

I'm Jenny Ellis, Creative Director, Designer, and Upholstery Mentor. Here, you'll find inspiration and instruction to help spark your creativity and create heirloom-worthy works of art.

After years of sharing my designs in my Asheville studio & gallery storefront and selling them in high-end gift shops like the Biltmore Estate, I’m thrilled to show you how to create masterpieces of your very own.
