Peter Galbert Chairmaking Studio, Rollinsford, NH
Instructor: Peter Galbert - Assistants: Aspen Golann & Kelly Harris
This class is a continuation of a workshop Peter Galbert taught to a small group of professional woodworkers in 2022. The inaugural class consisted of Audi Siosi, Sarah Watlington, Lacey Carnahan, Kelly Harris and Aspen Golann. Pete led the group through the process of designing a Windsor chair from scratch. It was wildly successful and we are going to offer it again this year. The original class will return and we are looking for two new chairmakers to join the crew.
This design class will focus on all aspect of creating a chair from concept drawings to models, mock ups , drafting and construction. The topics will range from material technology, ergonomics, structures, process and tooling. The class will choose two designs to push through the process. This is not a class to build and take home a chair, it’s to learn how a chair goes from concept to creation.
