Anton Redman II Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Best of luck to him but amongst the English speaking population there loads of people but not much money. Also in contrast to UK big distances to travel betwen jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I think your friend may get by using his existing skill as an upholsterer.His alternatives are at best ,limited or, non existant.Kind regards,Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phylisbide Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 On the way down through France last year we stayed at a b and b - there was a strange, familiar tapping noise coming from the room next to the dining room - it turned out to be an upholstery group - about ten chairs around a large barn room in various stages of re-upholstery by (mainly) local women. They were helping each other rather than being taught. It seems to be a popular pastime in France as much as here in UK. Could teaching a group/working on commissions be a way of integrating into his new local area for your friend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
