Danish Cord Weaving Workshop - Make your own stool at Track Brewery & Taproom
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'. Session dates: 3rd, 10th, 17th March 2026. What to expect: - Three guided evenings 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. 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. Grab a drink/pint from the bar. 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). Either options will need to be requested in advance on start date.

Maker
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!

This would typically be done on the inside of one of the legs. This would need to be added at the time of booking. Please get in touch via the 'message the tutor' button to confirm your text.
There will be a little bit of light sanding and oiling of the frame so bring an apron or old clothes. You're welcome to bring your own food and drink.
You can message beforehand or choose on the day. There is a £8 supplement which is payable on the day.
No problem, we can work something out.
