This deluxe course takes the bent stick chair to the next level, focusing on refinement, detail, and craftsmanship. The form is similar to the traditional chair, but with greater attention paid to symmetry, clean lines, precise joins, and an elegant overall finish.

You’ll work more slowly and deliberately, learning advanced bending and fitting techniques, refining the chair’s profile, and developing a deeper understanding of structure and balance. This is about elevating a humble rural form into a piece of fine handcrafted furniture.

Ideal for experienced makers or returning students, this course offers the chance to create a chair that feels truly special — something to use, admire, and keep for a lifetime.
