SIMPLICITY, NECESSITY AND INGENUITY
The key principles for building a three legged staked stool are simplicity, necessity and ingenuity. Using just one type of joint it’s possible to create a robust structure from almost any species of wood that can be used to make a variety of different pieces of furniture – tables, chairs and stools of almost any shape and size.
The design for this stool belongs to Chris Schwarz from Lost Art Press. In 2019 I watched him teach a group of complete beginners how to make them and I’ve been smitten with the design ever since. Back then Chris taught this project as an introduction to chair making. I’ve made several for myself in the last few years and helped several complete beginners build their own so I know it’s a great design.
Although the project is not without its’ challenges it is an excellent introduction to woodworking in general. This version is designed around the stock forms of timber you can buy from any good builders merchant, DIY store or timber yard making it easy to repeat when you’re ready to fly solo. Are they comfortable? During the pandemic I spent hundreds of hours delivering online lessons from my workshop at home perched on one of these so, yes.
As well as developing a range of techniques for marking out and cutting joints with hand tools, you will also learn how to read the grain of a piece of wood and assess its suitability for a specific purpose.
Tools and materials will be provided.

TEA 'N CHAT - LINDA HARVEY - Textile Artist
1 APRIL 2025
TIME: 7-8pm  
 FREE EVENT
This event is held on ZOOM, so please register to get the Zoom details.



Join us for a FREE Tea 'N Chat with Textile artist and teacher LINDA HARVEY who talks about her work.
We are excited to have the immensely talented mixed-media textile artist Linda Harvey join us for our April Tea 'N Chat event. With over 25 years of experience in both teaching and creating, Linda brings a deep well of knowledge and a true passion for her craft. As the Head of Textiles at Archbishop Holgate's School in York and a dedicated member of York Textile Artists and The Society for Embroidered Work, Linda's commitment to her art is truly inspiring.
Linda’s artwork is a mesmerizing fusion of rustic textures and innovative techniques. Drawing inspiration from her travels, she transforms photographs into expressive, abstract textile creations. Her work beautifully reflects her love for color and texture, incorporating elements such as hand-felted backgrounds, free-motion embroidery, intricate layering, and rust dyeing.

LINDA HARVEY  Textile Artist and Head of Textiles at Archbishop Colgate School, York

Linda studied Textiles and Surface Design at University Centre Somerset, graduating in 1994. She is a textile artist and Head of Textiles at a York secondary school and a member of York Textile Artists and The Society for Embroidered Work, which promotes and supports the best in stitched art worldwide.
The inspiration for her work mainly comes from the places she visits, taking photographs of anything that catches her eye. These photographs give a starting point from which her work evolves, often working on several pieces at a time, as she enjoys an expressive and experimental way of working.
Linda is inspired by rustic textures and the ageing process, drawn to anything corroded and tarnished and immediately seeing how it can be turned into a textile art piece. Colour and texture are the key elements in her work.
