GUILD SCHOOL

ART DECO LEATHER CLUB CHAIR

In this workshop, participants will learn all aspects of making this wonderful chair. Students will learn to cut the wood used to construct the frame. Once the frame is assembled, the students will learn ‘beyond the basics’ upholstery techniques using either ‘aged’ maroon or pristine black leather. Participants will prepare the wood for the arm insets and attach them to the chair for a finishing touch! The goal of this class is not only will the students leave with a finished chair, but they will also depart with the knowledge need to create their own chair from start to finish.

ARTS AND CRAFTS FOLDING SCREEN

In this class students will learn how to paint and ‘grout’ the design on the three etched panels to create a striking effect. The colors shown here will be provided, but if students would like another combination they are free to bring their own acrylic craft paints. When the painting and ‘grouting” is complete they will go on to cut the wood needed to construct to panels. Once the panels are complete, a stain and finish will be applied and brass hinges will be added.
