Summer time is here! Get ready for those sun bathing and barbecue events on the beach or in the parks. A must have for them is your own Summer Chair made out of Wood and Fabric. But wait, its not the regular folding chair that attends to break and hurt your back quite often. This ones have extra back support to make those unforgettable summer nights much more comfortable on top of it they are light so it makes them easy to carry to every summer party!

In this workshop you will no just get to enjoy your personal pimped up Summer Chair, you will also learn the basics of Woodworking!

During the workshop you will be building the frame out of Hard wood using machinery in our Fully Equipped Woodshop. For the softness of the chair and the cool personalise touch we will use sturdy fabric, which is a bit stronger and not that easy to rip or damage. To give the final touch to your lovely new product, we will cover the wood with natural oils, in case rain destroys your barbecue, your chair will stay intact.

The workshop will have one session on 8th of August. You will tackle creation of the frame and introduction to woodworking machines at first. In the second part you will assemble the fabric and neatly oil your creation.

WORKSHOP HOLDER

Lluis Mateu, a woodworking enthusiast who has more than 25 years of experience. He has built everything from wooden houses, over furniture to sets for theatre and cinema productions. He hasn't got bored of it and loves to pass on the excitement as well as all the tricks he's learned throughout the years.

"Today many people spend most of their time in front of a computer screen, it is a great tool indeed, but slowly we are losing the capacity of making things with our hands.

With all the years I have been working with wood, I still find satisfying to make a new piece, seeing it taking shape, feeling the quality of the material, see its color coming out after waxing/oiling it, I love it!

I would like to pass on this passion for working with wood and experiencing the satisfaction of building something with your hands."
