Charles Thompson makes chairs and carvings in a humble workshop on a hill in western Massachusetts, and has been teaching at HatchSpace since 2020. His work reflects on vernacular forms, and uses a mixed vocabulary of techniques, patterns, and materials that speak to the efficacy of hand work. He typically works straight from the log, splitting, bending, manipulating, then rejoining wood in a process that leverages personal intention and celebrates common materials. He senses, in the back of his mind and now in his work, a deepening curiosity as to what could count as his own tradition. Learn more about Charles at his website here.

Tom Bodett is a lifelong carpenter and woodworker who founded HatchSpace in 2019. In addition to his successful 40 year career in publishing and broadcasting, he now devotes himself to serving the rural communities he has lived, and has always lived.

Through hands-on effort and philanthropy, Tom and his wife Rita, work to leave these places better than they found them, and have learned when to leave well enough alone.
