Late June-Dec. 2024 Classes at LAP

Below are the classes being offered at the Lost Art Press shop in the second half of 2024. You can click through now to the Covington Mechanicals registration site to read the class descriptions, but you cannot register until 10 a.m. Eastern on Monday, Feb. 19. (It looks like you can, ’cause there’s a “Register Now” or “Buy Tickets” button on every class…but you can’t. So don’t bother hitting that button yet.)

And for those who don’t already know, the classes typically sell out quite quickly – in nano-seconds, at times – so limber up those fingers and get ready to type fast on Feb. 19 at 10 a.m. Eastern! However: I beseech you to make sure you can join us for a given class before registering. We are not really a school, and don’t have a setup that makes refunds then filling open slots easy. (I do understand that life happens, and it’s sometimes unavoidable. But please don’t sign up first and check your schedule later!)

Chris and I have some commitments in the second half of the year that are keeping us from offering many general classes (including two scholarship classes for the Chairmaker’s Toolbox– more on that to come). But if any of our plans fall through, we might add a class or two later in the year. For now, here’s what’s on tap – and we’re delighted to welcome two Lost Art Press authors from overseas: Jögge Sundqvist who’s visiting from Sweden for two classes, and Chris Williams visiting from Wales for one.

• Comb-back Chair Class with Chris Williams, June 24-28
• Carving Oak – 17th-century Style with Peter Follansbee, July 8-11
• Make a Magic Mora Knife with Jögge Sundqvist, Aug,. 26-27
• Karvsnitt: Chip Carving Scandinavian Symbols & Patterns in Wood with Jögge Sundqvist, Aug. 30-31
• Make a Dovetailed Shaker Tray with Megan Fitzpatrick, Dec. 7-8
