Classes...

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.
