Starting with the prep

Starting with the Prep

You'll join a small group of 3-7, where we start with basic preparation of sanding and oiling your stool.


Weaving your warp

Weaving Your Warp

The first step to weaving is building your warp. It's a satisfying start where you'll see your stool start to take shape.


Time for the weft!

Time for the Weft

It's starting to take shape now, and it's all your own work.


Finishing off

Finishing Off

A few final checks and tweaks, and it's ready to stand back and think, 'I made that'.


The finished stool

The Finished Stool

Even though we follow a pattern, no two stools are the same. Each one will have a little bit of its creator in it, and at the end of the workshop, you walk away with a beautifully finished, professional-looking Danish cord stool.


Time for a snack and drink

Time for a Snack and Drink

FREE cake and coffee/tea.


Join this Danish cord stool-making workshop in Chorlton and spend four evenings crafting a beautiful piece of furniture surrounded by good company. Over the four weeks, you'll discover the satisfaction of making something with your own hands – and there's free cake, tea, and coffee to keep you going.
This workshop is designed to be accessible to everyone. Absolute beginners are welcome; you just need reasonably nimble fingers. You'll work with a solid beech frame that's been hand-machined in Manchester, preparing it with light sanding and an oil finish. Then you'll learn the basics of Danish paper-cording using premium materials, and weave your own stool to take home.
Over the four sessions, you'll move through the process step by step: understanding the frame, mastering the cording technique, and watching your stool come together. It's relaxed, hands-on, and genuinely achievable whether you've done this before or you're trying it for the first time.
By the end of the course, you'll leave with a sense of real accomplishment – and a stunning piece of furniture you can proudly say you made yourself. That's the reward: something functional and beautiful that sits in your home as a reminder of what you've created.

female Women-owned

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!
