An Introduction to Chair Making

The day will begin with a discussion on different seating constructions and designs. A short foray into the museum woods will focus on the sustainable management of woodlands for timber requirements and we will explore the artistic potential using natural form, shape and texture. Using traditional tools and techniques students will complete an elegant stool to take home, as well as the experience and knowledge to make other pieces of furniture. The hands-on day will provide a good base for those who wish to create individual designs and is ideal for developing further potential.

Suitable for
18+

Admission
£75.00 per person to include tuition, teas and coffees. The Museum café will be open or you can bring a packed lunch.
