Job Description

Upholstery Instructor & Furniture Flipper (Part-Time, In Person)

Toronto, ON

Toronto Crafts is a founder-led creative studio where people come together to learn practical skills and discover the joy of making. We're not just a workshop space--we're a community that believes in hands-on learning, sustainability, and giving people the confidence to create and repair for themselves.

Our mission is to make craftsmanship accessible and meaningful. By teaching upholstery and furniture flipping, you'll be helping others gain autonomy, reduce waste, and bring new life to objects that would otherwise be discarded.

Why Join Us?

At Toronto Crafts, instructors have the freedom to shape workshops in their own style. You'll have flexibility, creative autonomy, and the pride of knowing your skills directly impact people's lives. Teaching here isn't just about passing on techniques--it's about showing others how to become more self-sufficient, more confident, and more connected to their work.

Skills & Experience

Strong knowledge of upholstery techniques: fabric selection, sewing, stapling, tufting, webbing, foam replacement, and frame refinishing. Hands-on experience flipping or refurbishing furniture for reuse or resale. Comfortable with essential upholstery and woodworking tools (staple guns, hammers, sewing machines, sanders, etc.). Ability to explain skills clearly in a beginner-friendly, engaging way. Previous teaching or facilitation experience is a plus. Commitment to safe tool use and sustainable practices. Availability for in-person workshops in Toronto over weekends and weeknights.
