The cricket table is a classic form of English vernacular furniture, known for its simple construction and distinctive three-legged design. In this course, participants will make their own cricket table, working through the key stages of layout, shaping and joinery.
Despite its simplicity, the form introduces important principles in geometry and construction, particularly in setting out angled legs and achieving a stable structure. The course offers a practical way to develop accuracy, confidence and an understanding of how components come together in three dimensions.
Derek Jones is a furniture maker and former editor of Furniture & Cabinetmaking, with a long-standing interest in traditional forms and design. His teaching draws on both practical experience and a deep understanding of furniture history and construction.
By the end of the course, participants will have completed their own piece to take away. All materials are included in the course fee, and access to the Marketplace is included as part of the experience.
