Footstool Constuction Material List

Pattern and wool

Order your footstool pattern and assemble your wool, or simply send me your color visions and let me color plan it for you. This is a service I offer to all workshop attendees, but you can get this service without the workshop. I do give priority to workshop students so you might have to wait a while. Please contact me for availability.
