What happens on the day?
A one-day chair making course with Aidan Donovan Design in Manchester. Aidan Donovan Design say it suits people starting from scratch.
What is chair making?
Chairs are their own discipline. The angles compound, nothing is square, and a seat has to take weight without racking. Windsor and stick chairs are the usual route in, built green with a drawknife and a shave horse. Most chair courses run several days because you cannot rush the assembly.
Dates, prices and places are set by Aidan Donovan Design, not by us, and can change at any time. Always confirm the details with them before you travel.

Questions people ask before booking
Do I need to bring my own tools?
Aidan Donovan Design does not state on their page whether tools are provided for this course. Ask them before you book, because a hand woodworking course can assume you bring your own.
Is it suitable for a complete beginner?
Aidan Donovan Design bills this course as suiting people starting from scratch. If you have never done any chair making before, say so when you book so they know what to expect.
Is £190 a fair price for this?
Most one-day chair making courses on this site cost between £70 and £230. At £190 this one sits around the middle, out of 10 we hold a price for. Price alone will not tell you which suits you: group size and what is included matter as much.
Who do I book with?
You book directly with Aidan Donovan Design. Woodwork UK does not take bookings, does not add a fee, and is not paid for the link. They set the dates, the price and the number of places.
