Bentwood Willow Chair, with Rick Pratt
Tuesday, July 7, and Wednesday, July 8: 9 A.M.–2 P.M.
Member $325; Nonmember $375

Create a bentwood chair using a variety of willow saplings and trees, starting with the frame and then bending shoots to form the arms, back, and seat. The class will require hammering, sawing, and bending and a good sense of humor. No two chairs will be alike, as you will be able to show personality with each piece you use. Expect some scratches and sore muscles, but the result will be worth it!

All materials provided. Maximum class size: 10
