About this Workshop

The Blacker House Chair is, in my opinion, one of the top three most iconic chairs produced in 20th-century America, alongside Sam Maloof’s Rocker and George Nakashima’s Conoid Chair. This chair incorporates many essential technical elements of chairmaking, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to enhance their skills in this craft while adding a remarkable piece to their collection. Students will have the option to take the one-day weekend workshop on making the fixtures for this chair, which will allow you to make many more in the future.

Key Points

  • A brief history of the Greene & Greene brothers’ work
  • Definition and essentials of perfect chair design
  • Understanding chair joinery
  • Mastering power tools for chairmaking
  • Oil finishing with potassium dichromate
