The 2024 Slipcover Summit will take place Friday, November 8 - Saturday, November 9, 2024, at the GreenLife Inn in Tryon, NC.*  This is a unique opportunity to spend time together with other custom workroom owners and slipcover makers.  We've booked the entire inn for a Thursday arrival - Sunday departure.  This will be a fun learning experience with slipcover makers, teachers, and friends.

 

Instructors are Emily Pettit, Jeanelle Dech, and Jonathan Bennett. Each will be demonstrating their slipcover methods on a unique style of furniture. The great room of the inn has a lot of furniture to choose from!  Susan Woodcock will be on-hand to share specialty techniques.
