Visit Kraft Village includes High Wycombe Chair Making Museum CIC. Robert Bishop trading as Kraftinwood and his wife Christina successfully opened Kraft Village on the 18th June 2016. It includes a spacious woodturning workshop, artists studios, large contemporary art gallery, craft gift shop as well as the chair making museum. Learn about the bodgers, bench men and framers who made 4,700 chairs a day here in 1875. The museum tour includes a short demo on the shave horse, pole and treadle lathes. Also see the tools used to make the range of Windsor chairs that are on display.
We were hosted by the owner, who gave us a very passionate and informative tour of the museum and gallery. His enthusiasm for the subject shines through, and the tools and chairs on show are well worth a look. Highly recommend.
