Build your own custom outdoor chair based on the traditional Adirondack design. In this class students will work with instructor Wayne Ford as they learn to measure, cut and assemble a chair using a pattern. This class is beginner-friendly and minimal woodworking experience is necessary. The Adirondack Chair is an American classic. Since the early 1900s its enduring and lasting appeal has made it a popular addition to backyards all across the U.S. This class will take place in the shop at the HRMM Wooden Boat School located at 86 Rondout Landing in Kingston. 

Joint Instruction - For an additional fee, students are welcomed to bring a second builder to the class. This is a great opportunity to learn and have fun together. Joint instruction must be accompanied with someone taking the full instruction and purchasing a kit.

The Wooden Boat School was founded by the Hudson River Maritime Museum in 2015 to preserve the maritime craft traditions of the Hudson Valley and to teach a hands-on interpretation of the living history of the Hudson River. The school offers diverse curriculum and opportunities which inspire skills in woodworking, boat building, and maritime craft. Also available are restoration services for wooden boats. A class calendar and details can be found at www.hrmm.org/woodworking.
