Description

Vernacular furniture, often referred to as "furniture of the people" combines functionality and regional character, offering timeless designs for everyday life. Guided by woodworker Robert Geddes, explore the core principles, tools, and techniques behind this traditional craft. Using a small selection of hand tools, including rasps, spokeshaves, and planes, create your own three-legged stool inspired by the classic Sheffield Cutler’s Stool or a rustic milking stool. Held at Ballarat's Australian Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades, a world-class facility dedicated to learning and preserving Australia’s rare arts and trades through a series of workshops, masterclasses, events, and residencies.
