Learn the seven-step method of caning chair seats. Before the first class, participants will purchase a kit ($70) which contains a small oak stool, tools and the cane needed to weave the seat. There will be a demonstration of each step and individual guidance as needed. After completing this project, you will be able to rescue Grandma’s chair from the attic and finally return it to its former glory. Self-help books and sources will be recommended. Note: Participants will receive instructions for ordering the kit three weeks prior to the first class. Please make sure your completed registration form arrives at ALL by August 15.
