Windsor Chair Making Courses in Hampshire/South

[El Barto]

Hi all,

Haven't posted for a while but now that summer is over things have settled down a bit. I want to embark upon a chair making course (Windsor preferably) and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations.

This place looks good but I thought I'd ask here first before booking anything: http://thewindsorworkshop.co.uk/

Thank you!

I’m not able to search for this at the moment but someone has posted a really good in depth review of the course. Try searching the forum or just wait as someone will post the link.
I’ve met James a couple of times and he is a really nice and knowledgeable guy so you could always give him a shout directly.

Amazing thanks for the link! Certainly looks worth the money.

One of my new full time students did a course with James a couple of years ago and was very impressed, I have spoken to James a couple of times and I am sure he knows his stuff.

Cheers Peter

I took James's continuous arm course earlier this year and was thoroughly impressed, very nice guy with a good style of teaching, can't recommend it highly enough

Thanks guys. Jackss565, did you find that you'd learnt enough to build a similar chair by yourself?

I took a lot of notes during the course and using these and James's book I've managed to build 2 more since
