Retired upholsterer Arnie Zimmerman taught the Elder College upholstery course in Williams Lake that wrapped up last week.

One participant upholstered a house for her cat.

Another recovered foot stools with pleather. Others recovered small armchairs. Some finishing included use of furniture tacks. Projects were small, limited to what participants could carry in their vehicles.

Ten students participated in the course that was held at St. Andrew’s United church for five Tuesday mornings, wrapping up on April 2.

Coordinator Anna Hughes brought wonderful homemade goodies with coffee every Tuesday.

Students found Zimmerman a very good and knowledgeable teacher.
