THE  WINDSOR  CHAIR  SHOP

  They were commissioned by the Col. Benjamin Stephenson House in Edwardsville, IL. to create 17 Windsor chairs for the historic home. To see more of the Stephenson house - click  www.StephensonHouse.org

  They are members of the Raintree Arts Counsil in Clarksville, MO. and Caron is Vice President of the Clarksville Museum.

  They are juried members of the Best Of Missouri Hands artisan's guild and were chosen as the Featured Artisans in the June 2005 issue.

    Ralph and Caron have been chosen by Early American Life magazine as one of the Top 200 Traditional American Craftsmen every year since 2004. They were chosen as one of three artisans from the Top 200 in 2005  to receive the First Heritage Artisan Award. This award is given to a artisan when all 19 judges agree that their work is of museum quality. They are extremely proud of this accomplishment.

   The October issue of Early American Life magazine has a great article about Writing Arm Chairs - we contributed our story for the article, and there is a photo of our child's and adult's Writing Arm Chairs.

    Their Windsor chairs were chosen by Heritage House Studio to be used in the new, soon to be released documentary, narrated by Kenny Rogers, " WE THE PEOPLE ".  The movie will premier at the Omni-Maxx Thearter of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC. It will then be released to all the Omni-Maxx Thearters across the United States. Caron and Ralph had a small "walk on part" during the filming of the movie too.
