Thinking about fabrics...

I am reading about sewing.  I am amazed to see all we can do with fabrics.  I learned it could be on walls and used in upholstery.  I am a bit curious about upholstery.  I think I may investigate that more.  I know someone who studied furniture finish in a school.  Last time I saw her, she was employed in the place she did her internship.  I don't know if she know more about upholstery.  I know she worked on wood and wood finishes.  I may ask her question next time I see her.

It is quite recent that I saw some brief moments where people where doing upholstery.  I always wondered how they where doing it, even if I didn't knew the word for it.  I didn't thought they would tack fabrics on the structure of the furniture.  Makes sense after seeing it.  I wonder if it is easy to do.  Sometimes, doing it makes all the difference.  It may look easy seeing it but be another matter doing it.

I wonder if there is a place where we could go and be able to try that kind of thing.  A kind of museum.  It could house various area of artisanship.  I would love to be able to try various thing before seeing if it appeal to me.  I would see if it is worth investing money.  I remember when I tried lapidary.  I was wondering what it was.  I also try to do some.  In the end, I wasn't really interested.  It takes a lot of patience.  It also takes abilities.  I was more interested in the people who took the workshop than the material itself.  I don't know if it was the responsible of the workshop had something to do in my dislike.  By chance, that workshop was a short one.  It is a rare time where I wasn't trilled of learning a new technique.  The good thing I get from this: it had refine what I liked, didn't liked and what interested me.  I am interested in stones but not in shaping them.
