This week I gave a talk about the history of Windsor chairs and how that relates to my work. The talk took place at Sheldon Museum in Middlebury, Vermont. It is a great little museum, especially if you are into Windsors. They have a great collection and I was very inspired to come up with some new designs after revisiting some of these originals. It has been over 10 years since I spent a lot of time at the Shelburne Museum, also in Vermont. That was were I found the inspiration for my Waltham line of chairs. I have not given any presentations for many years so this was a bit nerve racking to get ready for but it was actually a lot of fun. I hope to do more of this. It can be very easy to hide out in my shop and not interact with the public. Especially in this time of the internet.
