About this Workshop

If you are reading this class description, you’re not alone. There are quite a few students who have taken the sculptural rocking chair class or the child’s sculptural rocking chair class over the years and left with a completely made and jointed rocking chair—ready for the final sculpting, sanding, and finishing—which somehow never got done. If you are in that number, then this is the class for you. This will be a rare opportunity to come and finish your chair under Rick’s guidance. Students will be able to make replacement parts, sculpt, fix, grind, sand, glue, and if possible, even spray lacquer on their newly finished chair. Students will be directed on placement of hard and soft lines, carving details, and fine tuning the fit. If it’s time to finally get that chair done, here’s your chance. (Students’ names and identities will be changed to protect the innocent.) Open only to past sculptural rocking chair students.

  • Defining hard lines
  • Progressions for sculpting
  • Stages for gluing a sculpted chair
