Pagoda Rocking Chair Workshop : 12 - 17 AUGUST 2024

  • $80000


Pagoda Rocking Chair Workshop. Be a part of this six day workshop and take home a timeless rocking chair that you have crafted over a week with your own hands. 

Participants will be taken through traditional chair making processes; utilising a shavehorse to hand carve the 'green' spindles and crest rail- which is then steam bent on the first day of the class . All mortises are drilled by hand & eye and the seat carved with razor sharp edged tools only. You will use traditional chairmaker's tools like draw knives, spokeshaves, scorps,  travishers and tapered reamers  - leaving at the end of the week with a beautiful heirloom piece that will be passed down through generations.  * **You have the option of making a Pagoda Chair instead of a rocking chair on this workshop. **

All materials are included and all the tools required are supplied. 

Instructors: Glen Rundell + Pete Trott 

Workshop Cost: $1800. The deposit for this workshop is $800. The balance of $1000 is to be paid during the class. Coffee and tea is available all day, morning tea is provided; BYO lunch.
