This class is an introduction to building Windsor chairs – a form of furniture that has been fashionable for centuries. This class is an introduction to building these chairs with a small kit of hand tools, a band saw and wood available from any lumberyard. Class discussions will cover chair design as well as a wide variety of approaches to chairmaking so that students are empowered to design and explore this craft outside of the classroom.
Who should apply: No prior experience needed. All applicants must identify as historically excluded or outsiders in the field of woodworking.
