Description

In the Esherick Music Stand class, we’ll build our version of Wharton Esherick’s undeniable masterpiece. Esherick’s music stand inspired studio craftsmen throughout the world to create their own, but nothing surpasses the original with its flowing curves and raking form.

Esherick Music Stand

The five-day Esherick Music Stand class begins with full-scale shop drawings and pattern creation. Joining the legs to the sheet music holder follows, then shaping and softening the curves.

 

 

Some of the skills learned in the Morris Chair class are:

• How to create full-sized working drawings
• Shaping curved parts
• Angular joinery

Materials are not included in the class fee. Lumber for this project may be purchased through us or on your own and shipped to our shop at least four weeks prior to the class.

Each student should supply his, or her, own:

• Safety glasses and hearing protection
• Combination or machinist square
• Bevel gauge
• Bench chisels
• Carvers mallet
• Dovetail saw
• Marking gauge
• Smooth plane or jack plane
• Block plane
• Tape measure or folding rule

If you do not have the tools on the list, don’t panic; there are plenty of tools for your use in class.
