Each chair is individually crafted using a combination of modern and traditional tools and techniques
Peter Grant makes Windsor chairs in his workshop, Reydon near the Suffolk coast. Using a combination of modern and traditional tools and techniques, each chair is individually crafted to highlight the beauty of the wood.
Wow Pete, I love the bow-tie to fix the growth crack in your two seater Chair.
I spent a very enjoyable week making a windsor chair with Peter and the result is very professional. Peter was extremely patient, good at passing on new skills and adapting the chair to incorporate my ideas. I learned a vast amount and gained enough confidence to tackle a chair on my own. Highly recommended.
The most entertaining shavehorse I've seen. Like a rocket launch pad. Beautifully made!
Pete is the most generous and patient teacher I have ever encountered. To successfully coach a novice through such a complex project takes an expert with a rare set of skills. I arrived with eight fingers and two thumbs and left five days later with eight fingers, two thumbs and a beautiful Windsor chair. Thanks Pete and Julie for the lovely lunches and bottomless cups of tea.
