Original Chair Design With George Sawyer
4 Full Scholarships (covers Tuition and Materials).
Application Close: August 22, 2025
This one-week, green woodworking skills based intensive will provide a safe supportive and creative space for chairmakers to explore the realities of bringing a new greenwood chair concept to life. Students will spend time prior to the class preparing sketches, models, and or prototypes and will be given feedback by George. The one week class will then be spent working with traditional windsor chair tools, techniques, and parameters to figure out how to build the designs that students developed. Our goal is for students to leave the class feeling well prepared to take their design to completion.
Who should apply: All applicants should have some experience with chairmaking, independent design and comfortability trying and learning new woodworking techniques. Applicants should identify as historically excluded or underrepresented in the field of woodworking.
