one-day course

bent willow and rustic chair making

location, nr Ripon, North Yorkshire

Make a chair in a day! Using hazel and willow growing around the farm, you will first make a frame and then bend willow to make the seat, arms and back. Each chair is unique, often the wood dictates the final shape and size and a number of different techniques can be used to create different effects.

Come on your own or with a friend, once you've learnt the skills you can have a go at making another at home.
