We are delighted that Phillip Lowe of the Furniture Institute of Massachusetts will headline the fifth annual Peach State Chapter of SAPFM Spring Program on Saturday and Sunday, January 31-February 1 from 9AM-5PM (both days) at Woodcraft in East Roswell, Georgia. For two days Phil will discuss and demonstrate period furniture design and construction techniques as part of an in-depth explication of the pictured 18th century Queen Anne side chair. Discussion will begin with a breakdown and demonstration of a full scale drawing. Phil will demonstrate the creation of key elements, such as a turning the pad foot on the cabriole leg. His talk will proceed from the nuances of layout to actual execution of such characteristics as the angled mortise and tenon joinery that attach the seat rails to legs. Phil will discuss and demonstrate the development of key features of the chair back including the curved splat and the carved shell on the crest rail.
We can all look forward to a superior session from one of the best living practitioners of the craft today. This program is open to SAPFM members for the low admission fee of $90. You can join on-line at www.sapfm.org for a $60 annual fee which includes the annual publication “American Period Furniture”, access to numerous plans, most for free, and access to the Peach State Library of photos and videos from our past presenters.
As a special added attraction, on Friday evening, January 30 beginning at 7:30PM at Woodcraft, Phil will give a brief talk with slides that reflect his museum conservation and reproduction work. This session is free and open to the general public. Bring a friend and invite anyone you know who may be interested in hearing from an American Master.
The workshop on Monday and Tuesday, February 2 and 3 is now sold out.
All events take place at the Roswell Woodcraft store location at 1085 Holcomb Bridge Road, Roswell, Georgia.
