MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

Chicago Upholstery School, founded in 2012 by Jeff Kraut, was born from Lawrence Upholstery Shop, which has been in business for over 40 years, originally founded by Irving Kraut (Jeff's Father). Lawrence Upholstery originally provided vinyl tops for cars during the 1970's, but evolved into a boat canvas and auto upholstery shop when Jeff took over. Lawrence Upholstery still provides custom boat canvas and furniture upholstery service, and now also offers classes within Chicago Upholstery School.

Jeff's diverse background with boat and auto upholstery, as well as furniture upholstery and bag-making, makes him an ideal instructor for Chicago Upholstery School. If you have an idea for a project, be it furniture-related or something more obscure, Jeff can help you make it a reality.
