Classes are run by Vincent Chicone, a third-generation woodworker, and supported by Chicone Cabinetmakers' staff. During the week, you are guided through each step of the process, learning not only the how but also the why. At the end of the course, you will have an individually handcrafted chair, but more than that, you will have gained the experience and skill needed to craft Windsor chairs in your home workshop.
A minimum of four people are needed to run each class. All tools and materials used during the course are provided by Chicone School of Windsor and are included in the standard tuition rate. Lunch and coffee breaks will also be provided daily, Monday through Friday.
We offer both Introductory and Advance classes. A 50% deposit is due upon registration, with the remaining balance due on the first day of class. You can choose when you register whether to pay in full or pay the deposit. A full refund is available if you cancel at least 30 days before the first day of class.
