History
Kevin Kennedy is a Master Upholsterer who learned his craft from Old World European Masters. He has been upholstering for the past 30 years. Kevin would describe himself as a problem-solver; he is equally skilled at reupholstering mid-century furniture as he is at tying springs in a fine antique. And though we use polyurethane foam in some applications, he is also equally comfortable with traditional methods using horsehair and muslin. Kevin has taught upholstery in many venues, including adult-ed all over the Greater Boston area and at Restoration Project in West Concord.
