Traditional Seat Caning For the Vintage Chair
Bring your worn-out cane seat chair to class and learn the nearly lost art of traditional, seven-step method chair seat weaving commonly known as “hole-to-hole caning.” During the course, you’ll have ample time, instruction, and all the tools required to restore your vintage chair by weaving the seat back to its original condition. Whether a family heirloom chair or the one you picked up at the antique store that needs a little TLC, vintage chairs that need new seats are welcome in this course, tailored to your specific project. Chairs must have pre-drilled holes around the perimeter of the seat and be in good structural condition (not in need of re-gluing or refinishing). Each student must consult with the instructor immediately after registration to assess the chair’s needs. If you don’t have a chair to use, a limited number are available for purchase from the instructor.
