Willow Chair Workshop

🪚Step into the timeless world of rustic craftsmanship in this immersive, full-day workshop led by master craftsperson Andrew Kent. You’ll roll up your sleeves and create your very own classic willow chair—a beautiful, functional piece of furniture rooted in a traditional Kentucky design.

Guided by Andrew’s decades of experience and passion for woodworking, you’ll learn the fundamentals of rustic furniture building using techniques and natural materials. The chair frame will be crafted from sturdy alder, while the graceful curves will be formed from hand-bent willow. You’ll gain hands-on experience using traditional tools, and walk away with both new skills and a handcrafted piece of furniture that you built yourself.
This workshop is ideal for beginners and those curious about woodworking in a welcoming, supportive environment. Whether you're looking to start a new hobby, add a unique piece to your home, or just enjoy a day of creative work, this class offers an unforgettable experience.
All tools and materials are provided—just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to work with your hands.
Please note: This is an active, on-your-feet kind of day. Feel free to bring along one helper to assist you during the workshop.
