WWGOA LIVE Interview with Anne Briggs
George VondriskaWoodworkers Guild of America is celebrating National Woodworking month by featuring talented woodworkers in LIVE interviews and offering a free beginner video series. Sharpen your skills by watching our top woodworking videos and learn from the experts during special LIVE Q&A’s every Thursday in April.
Join George Vondriska as he interviews Anne Briggs. Anne, known as Anne of All Trades, is a farmer, furniture builder, and educator intent on preserving disappearing life skills. 8 years ago, with very little prior knowledge of farming or building things, she set out on a journey to become more involved in every aspect of her life, to get out of the tech industry, to leave the city, and to encourage folks to join her in the pursuit of something better. Now she and her husband Adam live on acreage in Nashville, TN where she’s raising and selling dairy, beef, eggs, building heirloom quality furniture, and has made a career teaching people disappearing life skills.
Anne travels the country teaching about all kinds of things from cutting dovetails, carving spoons, building whiskey cabinets to building small businesses, growing an online following, and regenerative agriculture. She’s currently building a school on their farm in TN where she’ll do more of the same both in person and online. Anne has had 50+ articles published in various woodworking magazines, including the incredible honor of being the first woman in ten years to appear on Popular Woodworking’s cover for an article on building Windsor Chairs.
