Six day chair making courses are held under cover in the Silk Wood Barn. Pole lathes and benches are set up to create a traditional chairmakers' workshop.
Groups of up to ten participants learn to select timber, to cleave it from the log, to shape it with draw knives on a shaving horse and to turn it on a pole lathe. They also learn to steam bend, use a variety of hand tools to carve a chair seat, and to frame a well proportioned and strong Windsor chair.
Six day courses cost from £300 which includes all tools and materials.
