Design Students @JCW

Judy’s Custom Workroom recently spent a day with emerging designers!

These UC Riverside Extension students are earning their Certificate in Interior Design. Professor Roberta Maxwell-Long of Maxwell-Long Designs teaches the program’s Perspective Drawing and Marker Rendering Course. She thought it may be helpful for her students to visit a drapery and furniture workroom.

 The students came in and enjoyed refreshments while we gave a short presentation on the services we offer and how designers work with us. We went over what the process is like from sketch to completion. Some topics we also covered were drapery, required yardage, installation and pricing of various window treatments and pieces of furniture. We followed up with Q&A and a tour of our showroom/library.

After the students explored our fabric and material library, they then got a tour of our workroom where custom design comes to life. We showed them some examples of our work and all the materials that go into reupholstering a sofa, creating a headboard, pillows, etc. It was beneficial for them to see the quality of our craftsmanship and understand the value of labor cost.

We really enjoyed hosting the class. Most had never been to a workroom before. We hope that they found it informative and had a good time.

Design students are always welcome to stop by and look around our library and workroom. Please know, we are here to help!
