These six-day greenwood chair making courses cover all the green woodworking skills and processes needed in order to construct your own chair from a green Ash log.
The techniques include cleaving out and shaping the components, drying some of the components overnight in the wood-fired kiln, steam-bending some of the components to give them the correct form, cutting and drilling mortises and tenons, frame assembly, and finally weaving the seating material.
There is a range of chair-back designs and seating materials available to suit all abilities and tastes.
Spending a week working in the woods, being so close to nature, using wood from the woods and hand tools to produce a beautifully unique piece of furniture is a deeply fulfilling experience.
On top of that, the sense of achievement gained from having made your own chair that will last for generations is something very special.
All of our courses take place in a well-equipped workshop shelter within the heart of the woodland in a beautiful and peaceful streamside location.
