Lisa CrampHi I'm Lisa Cramp and I run an upholstery business where I take in commissions and I also teach upholstery. I have run my business since 2007 and I started teaching in 2015. I find both sides of my business very rewarding. It is full of meeting new people and working on some fantastic projects. The teaching is especially rewarding and I've made some amazing friends along the way. Most learners stay with me for years, no pressure :-). Upholstery is addictive and can be stress relieving and it's very creative. I look forward to meeting you and for you to join the group.

Lisa CrampHi I'm Lisa Cramp and I run an upholstery business where I take in commissions and I also teach upholstery. I have run my business since 2007 and I started teaching in 2015. I find both sides of my business very rewarding. It is full of meeting new people and working on some fantastic projects. The teaching is especially rewarding and I've made some amazing friends along the way. Most learners stay with me for years, no pressure :-). Upholstery is addictive and can be stress relieving and it's very creative. I look forward to meeting you and for you to join the group.
