Five Stars – that’s what I would give Matt Rushing’s Windsor Chair Making Class.

I cannot say enough about how much I learned in Matt’s class, or how proud I am of my Sack Back Windsor chair.
Matt is a born teacher as well as a craftsman.  He took me through every stage of construction, from selecting the right
logs to finishing with the traditional milk paint & linseed oil.  He showed me how to do every step, then let me do it &
most importantly explained why we did each step.  His patience, knowledge & craftsmanship are truly exceptional & with his
easy going personality, the class was a true pleasure.

Thanks Matt for a week I’ll always remember & for a chair I can pass down with pride to my future generations.
