Chair Rescue is the first class in Object Lessons, a series of five one-day woodworking workshops with artist and educator Ellie Richards at Allied Woodshop in Los Angeles. Ellie and Lauren Verdugo team up to teach chair repair from start to finish. You reglue loose joints, clean and refinish the frame, apply milk paint, and upholster a new slip seat. Pick a chair from our lineup or bring your own wooden chair with a drop-in seat. By the end of the day your chair has a full transformation and goes home with you.
When: Saturday, December 5, 2026, 9am to 4pm, with an hour for lunch.
Where: Allied Woodshop, 4160 Whiteside Street, Los Angeles, CA 90063.
