North House is excited to welcome Swedish craftsman Anders Lindberg to campus as our featured guest instructor for Unplugged. Anders offers this four day stool building course for anyone who has ever thought they might be interested in building furniture. This relatively simple project teaches a variety of important woodworking skills: riving and splitting fresh stock, using a variety of simple handtools to shape the stool legs and fitting dry rungs. The stool will be made of ash; the seat will be woven with Danish papercord or sea grass. This finished result will be a comfortable and lightweight stool you’ll be proud to call handmade. This course is open to beginners.

You will need the following tools for this class:

• carving knife

• Drawknife
• Shaving Horse
• Sloyd knife
• spokeshave
• Bit brace and 16mm auger brace bit
