Woven Footstool by Lindsey Campbell!
This woven footstool project combines weaving with solid wood to create a strong, functional, and beautiful piece of furniture. In this workshop, you will be using a method called Danish cord weaving for a beginner-friendly bench project. The class starts out by introducing the unique materials, including a custom-built footstool frame, paper cord, and Danish cord nails. Lindsey provides 12 patterns to choose from to create a unique footstool that matches your home and style.
Lindsey Campbell is the artist and instructor behind Hello Hydrangea. She first discovered her passion for weaving when she created her own loom using pins on a picture frame. Ever since then, she describes weaving as a ‘magical experience.’ Her projects include tapestries, rugs, furniture, clothing, and baskets.
Beyond her own love for weaving, Lindsey is dedicated to sharing this craft with others. Through her online classes, books, and in-person workshops, she strives to make weaving accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Her motto, “Create for Yourself,” encourages makers of all skill levels to embrace the process, even if their creations are seen only by themselves.
Lindsey resides in the picturesque Sonoran desert in Arizona, with her husband, two sons, dog, cat, and ten chickens. When she’s not weaving in her home studio, she manages a busy household, enjoys reading, engages in CrossFit training, and endeavors to homestead on a small scale in her suburban backyard.
