Don Weber (middle, in the hat) teaching a low-back Welsh chair green chairmaking class at Country Workshops with Drew Langsner (to the left of Don, with the camera) in attendance.
This is the final post in a three-post series featuring images from a carousel of Don Weber’s slides, which he found while working with us on a profile for The Stick Chair Journal No. 4. This post features images of chairs and a wonderful series of photos from a Country Workshops chairmaking class, taught by Don Weber with Drew Langsner in attendance. Some have captions from Don (in quotes), some have captions from us, many have no captions at all.
Enjoy!

This photo and the following photos are from a low-back Welsh chair green chairmaking class Don Weber taught at Country Workshops, with Drew Langsner in attendance.
the hickory bark seat in the slide after the photo of Jennie Alexander is a North Carolina chair she owned, good chance it’s where her chair evolved from. Legend is it was found in an abandoned house in western NC. Now at the Winterthur Museum, along with one of JA’s late-period chairs and her papers.

The chairs are wonderful, but the flat beagle steals the show.
