Folkingham Creative Arts is breathing new life into the old school house in the heart of Folkingham. 

Our Vision

A place where creatives and enthusiastic amateurs can learn new practical skills in a school humming with inspiration.

Courses are run in upholstery and furniture restoration, there are also courses across a diverse range of creative skills such as art, felting and mosaics along side our crafteroon teas

Whether you would like to learn to reupholster a drop in seat, make a footstool or headboard or maybe work on a bigger project - FCA will have a variety of courses to guide and teach you in the traditional skills of upholstery and furniture restoration.

Our Founder
