Make A Chair From A Tree

Courses in chair making and green woodworking

Come and learn some new skills with me - I teach traditional techniques to small groups, starting with a fresh cut log and ending up with a beautiful item for your home that’s made with your own hands.

The courses are great for beginners or experienced makers alike, with a focus on building simple skills. Tools and materials are provided. Fun will most surely be had.

~Upcoming Dates ~

I’m currently finalising dates for September onwards, to take place in my new workshop and at the Haarlem shop in Wirksworth. Sign up below to be notified when places are available.

There will be classes on chair making, weekend stool & bench making, as well as shorter sessions learning to make a firewood carrier just in time for the cold evenings to draw closer.

A very enjoyable course with a great stool to take away at the end and some new friends. I had a great couple of days learning about the chair making process. My friends and family couldn’t believe I’d made it!
