Welcome to Slipcover Summit 2012
The only event of its type in the country totally devoted to the art and profession of making slipcovers for furniture. We hope you will join us for these few days in June to expand your horizons, to network, and grow.
Each year we move the Slipcover Summit to a different region of the country, affording the opportunity of furthering one's education in the field of slipcovering. Learn from instructors who are actively involved slipcovering furniture for their own businesses.
This year's event is in Hickory, North Carolina being held at the Hickory Furniture Mart.
"Thank You" to our local hosts for 2012 Linda Meeks of Pencil Me In and Lisa Devita of Devita Fabric Arts who have been making all arrangements, so we can join together to learn all about the art of fabricating slipcovers for furniture.
The Slipcover Summit is a retreat style event. Dress casually, but appropriately to be in public. We want you to be relaxed, worry free, comfortable, so you can learn, and absorb as much as possible in each workshop you attend.
We have had to set a limit on the size of each class. This gives each participant the opportunity to experience hands on (if the class is hands-on) and to be up close to view the demonstration in each workshop. In many classes participants will make or take 
home samples. A kit fee will be incorporated in the cost of the class when hands-on participation is done.
Our instructors are working professionals who have volunteered to teach what they have learned over the years. They have worked hard to put together packets of information and samples for a memorable learning experience. They are giving of their time and experience in the field they know best. Sharing knowledge they most likely have acquired the hard way, through actual experience.
