Women’s Chair Class

Women are encouraged to attend all my classes, but this one is especially for women.  Identical to my normal loop back class,  you’ll start with a log and rive out the backs and spindles. The the seats will be carved from a single piece of white pine and the chair assembled using wet/dry joinery. Emphasis will be placed on learning skills and techniques that you can take home with you (of course you get your chair too).

All aspects of the chair building process will be covered in detail, except for turning and finishing. Due to time limitations, the turned parts (legs, stretches, arm stumps) will be provided. At the class’s end, the chairs will be assembled and ready for you to finish at home. I have no secrets and am happy to answer all questions as time permits.

Class size is limited to four students. All tools and materials are provided, plus you get a set of Curtis Buchanan’s plans for your chair. No prior experience of any kind is needed to attend the class. Amazingly delicious lunches are provided by a local chef.

A $200 deposit is required to register. If written cancellation is received up to two months before the class start date, a 50% refund will be provided. Within two months no refund is offered.

"I have been making Windsor chairs for 7 years and sell at craft shows. I came hoping to learn a few new techniques and left with a completely new method of chair making that will greatly improve the quality of my chairs."
– Doug McAvoy
