I
offer individual instruction in Windsor chairmaking
in which students spend one week in my backyard workshop
making their own chair. Classes are limited to one
student* in order to tailor instruction to the abilities
and interests of the individual. Scheduling is done
on an individual basis. The class requires a commitment from the
student to work long, hard hours.
Hundreds of students have made chairs with me since I
began teaching in 1986. My workshop and the small
town of Historic
Jonesborough in which it sits team up to create
a very pleasant learning environment.
For class pricing and details, please call or e-mail. Students are not required to bring any
tools. Accommodations are available at one of Jonesborough's
inns or many Bed & Breakfasts. Jonesborough also offers
a variety of good eating establishments and everything
is within a short walk of the shop so a car is uneccesary.
*I
will take two students if couples
wish to take the class together.
