a Leitrim County Council Heritage Project supported by Creative Ireland launched 1st September 2021
Inspired by the recording of the famous RTÉ Hands series of the 1970’s featuring Drumkeeran man, Jack Surlis, making the Leitrim Chair, Edwina made this video with craftsman Charles Perpoil with the idea of showing the simple steps in making the chair in the hope more will try it too. The opening scenes are filmed in Hughie Guckian’s workshop, grandfather of Edwina, who used to make the Leitrim Chair in his day.
