This 1 day course is ideal for learners who are keen to make a lovely chair from a bundle of coppice hazel rods, using a drill, saw and hammer.  No woodworking experience is necessary and you will be guided through the whole process.

The bendy hazel chair is both comfortable and attractive, and makes a useful piece of furniture for your porch, conservatory or garden.

You will select hazel rods to bend and nail together in the right proportions. They are then fixed in place to form the arms, back and seat.

Your tutor is forestry graduate Maurice Clother; a bodger (pole lathe turner) with plentiful experience; having taught green woodwork since 2001.

If you have a cordless drill, please bring it with you, and make sure you have space in (or on) your car to take your chair home!
