Q: Any idea where i can take an upholstery course in S.F.? I know S.F. City College offered a course a couple of years ago, but it's no longer available. I'm desperate to learn upholstery techniques! Thanks so much!

I just signed up for the upholstery class at SF city college. Its not free like it used to be, its under Home and Garden in their continuing education section.

I'd been wondering the same thing for a while....next time then.
Anything in the East Bay? Berkeley, Oakland, or nearby?
Is Christie my doppelganger? I periodically ask this question in the comments section and then forget to follow up.
And now it looks like I've just missed the first fall class. Dang.
I'm enrolled in the HM213 section on Saturdays.
Palo Alto Adult School has them in Spring & Fall. They started last week, & run 10 weeks for $195.

That seems like the better deal. CCSF is only 5 weeks ($160)
This is all great information. I have been looking into finding a class recently, so this is all great info!
I have been trying to find a class in Atlanta forever. Seems there's a bit more in your area. Good luck.
Argh, why are there no Saturday or Sunday classes anywhere in SF?
