This year we are privileged
to have Phil Lowe as our seminar speaker. Phil is an experienced lecturer and
speaker. His school, the Furniture Institute of Massachusetts, offers hands-on
classes in all facets of traditional furniture making. He has been involved
with woodworking since 1968 and is the author of many articles in "Fine
Woodworking Magazine". He will be teaching the art of traditional chair
making. No matter the style of chair you want to make, the techniques are the
same. Phil will show us how to design, build and fit a chair as he actually
constructs the parts and assembles one on stage. Phil is featured in the "Time
Life" series on woodworking and in videos with The Taunton Press on "
Carve a Ball and Claw Foot", "Making a Sheraton Bed" and most
recently, "Measuring Furniture for Reproduction". His teaching experience
includes ten years (1975 -1985) as an instructor at Boston's North Bennett Street
School, where he was positioned as department head for the latter five. Since
1985 Phil has operated a furniture making and restoration shop in Beverly, MA,
producing work for the private sector and museums throughout North America.
In 1997 Phil started The Furniture Institute of Massachusetts which offers hands-on
classes in all facets of traditional furniture making. Phil has been a visiting
instructor and demonstrator at various schools and woodworking organizations
throughout the United States and Canada.
