Festival Chairs: Basic Woodworking

Are you interested in learning some basic woodworking skills and walking away at the end of the day with two funky and comfortable chairs? Call them festival chairs, call them beach chairs — they’re a beautiful design and you can customize your chairs by choosing the wood and fabric. Come create — invent, experiment, and have fun (but measuring would be a good idea…).

This workshop is designed for beginners, although people with woodworking skills should also feel free to join.

Learn about the fundamentals of woodworking (yep, measure twice, cut once, as carpenters will tell you!) while making chairs that are strong and portable. We will be using hardwood lumber for the chairs, along with some lovely upholstery fabrics for the soft backs.

Everything will be created with simple tools (hand tools and a couple of battery operated tools) that are readily available.
