Mid Century Modern Chair - 3 Spots Left!

The mid-century modern era was an exciting time for design. The combination of the craft revival movement with playful new organic shapes from danish and American designers alike birthed some of the most iconic pieces of furniture that became the new heirlooms of tomorrow. In this course, we will explore mid-century design as students build their own lounge chair. Over 5 days, your instructor will begin by guiding students as we select lumber for clarity and grain. We will shape the frames using hand tools, and router jigs, and create joinery for the chair using traditional and modern techniques. In the final steps, we discuss how to source cushions for the chair and what type of fabric is appropriate if you have custom cushions made. With a maximum of 8 students, you'll receive personalized instruction in a fully equipped machine room.
Upgrade also available to build a matching Mid-Century Modern Ottoman during class for an additional $200. You will build the ottoman simultaneously while building your chair.
Students will build their chair in cherry, but are able to upgrade to walnut for an additional $250 or build a chair and ottoman in walnut for an additional $350.
The Mid Century Modern Chair can be partially assembled, then flat packed in a TV box from our local Lowes. It can be checked on a plane as luggage or shipped via freight. Students can work with our local post office or Postal Plus store for shipping.
