Danish Cord Weaving Workshop - Make your own stool at Chorlton Central Church

Description

Picture yourself relaxing, surrounded by good company, and creating a beautiful Danish cord stool. Join me over three evenings, and then stand back and think, 'I made that'. What to expect: - One full day where participants learn basic Danish paper-cording skills and weave their own premium-quality stool. - Prepare legs/frame, including light sanding and oil finish, followed by the weaving. Session dates: Saturday 28th February 2026. Materials: We only use premium-quality wood and Danish cord. The frame is flawlessly hand-machined in Manchester. Tools and equipment: All necessary tools and equipment for the workshop are provided. Free hot/cold drinks. No prior experience is needed, just nimble fingers! Absolute beginners welcome. Some extra details: this activity is delivered by me, Charlotte Cochrane. Stool size: 470mm x 350mm x 355mm. Solid beech, manufactured in the UK. Danish cord – traditional natural and black options (extra fee for black cord). The inside frame can be discreetly personalised with laser-cut text (great for wedding gifts, anniversaries, etc).

Twisted Loom was founded by me, Charlotte Cochrane, in Manchester, UK. I love crafting and making, and have won two Designer-Maker awards that I'm very proud of. I also work as an upholsterer and have created original pieces of furniture, lighting and cushions. After years of standing back and thinking, 'I made that', I now want you to have the same happy feeling of making something stylish and high-quality. I began by designing a small Danish cord stool, reminiscent of the well-known mid-century Danish designs that are so classic and everlasting in their style. The finished product is beautiful and looks amazing in any home!
