Join us for a 3 day class where students will build their own vernacular side chair. This chair is based off of the Leitrim chair, an Irish folk chair popularized by John Surlis. These chairs are incredibly comfortable and uniquely beautiful. Since they are hand made, each chair will be slightly different, showing clear evidence of the human hand at work. During this course, students will use a variety of hand tools to make, shape and assemble their chairs. All tools will be provided, but feel free to bring any that you have.
