Original Chair Building With George Sawyer


4 Full Scholarships (covers Tuition and Materials).
Applications for this opportunity have closed.

Notification of Award: Mid-October 2024

Teacher: George Sawyer

This one-week intensive will provide a safe, supportive, and creative space for experienced chairmakers to explore the realities of bringing a new chair concept to life. Students will come to the class prepared with sketches, models, or a prototype and we will spend the week working with traditional tools and techniques to figure out how to build their designs. Our goal is for students to leave the class feeling well-prepared to take a new design from concept to completion.

Who should apply: All applicants should have experience with chairmaking and identify as historically excluded or under-represented in the field of woodworking.

Type of Class: This is a Full Affinity Class, which means all students are selected through The Chairmaker’s Toolbox. To learn more read the CMT Class FAQ page.
