In this episode, Robbie chats with Mark Clemas, a Master Upholsterer who turned a simple hobby into a thriving career.
Discover how a redundancy in the 90s recession led Mark to architectural model making, and eventually, a deep dive into the world of upholstery.
Mark shares his journey through various upholstery courses and chats about Susanna, the mentor who inspired him to fully embrace upholstery as a career.
Find out how Mark juggles running a gift shop with his wife, Tracy, and his upholstery business, often blending the two.
Mark also talks about the camaraderie and daily support he receives from fellow upholsterers, and discusses the gender dynamics in upholstery and his experience as one of the few men in his courses.
For those new to the trade, Mark offers some sage advice on avoiding the temptation to hoard fabric and furniture and the importance of maintaining an efficient workspace!
It's a great episode with something for everyone so tune in and let us know what you think!
