Kelly Harris is a furniture maker and educator. Located in Brooklyn, NY. She builds custom furniture, useful objects for the home, and a Tapering Plane (patent pending!) hand tool for staked furniture/windsor chair making. She is a graduate of the North Bennet Street School Cabinet and Furniture Making program, where she studied period furniture. Additionally, holding a BA in political science and gender studies from Hunter College (CUNY), she ties in her decades long experience of working in the trades and the service industry, with her specialized study of both period furniture and critical thought. She teaches woodworking classes nationwide at craft and trade schools. Kelly’s work is rooted in solid joinery and functionality, while reserving the space for a playful and nuanced design aesthetic that is both elegant and bold.
