2026 CLASSES
The Vermont Handworks Shop: 2022
Each year I offer a variety of workshops centered around chairmaking, including related crafts like spoon carving, pitchfork making, and willow basketry.
Most of my classes are held at Vermont Handworks, a multi-disciplinary art and craft education space in Charlotte. Vermont Handworks offers year round workshops in crafts like metalworking, enameling, woodworking and basketry.
Several times a year I travel to teach at schools across the country.
All of my scheduled classes are listed here, with a link for details and how to sign up. Classes are added several times a year, you can stay up to date on new classes by subscribing to my mailing list.
