507MD: Chair Caning with Michael Dees

Level: Beginner ( this is one of the easiest patterns to complete)
Student Supplied Materials:
One round railed chair ( Absolutely no rocking chairs)
Mid-size sharp non-serrated knife and midsize flat head screwdriver.

Do you have a family chair that needs re-caning? Or have you had the desire to learn the art of  this heritage craft which had been passed down through generations?

Round railed chairs (the required style for this class) that need re-caning can be found at local thrift and antique stores. No rocking chairs please. Students will learn and complete the 3 x 3 Herringbone pattern using 1/2 inch flat reed. All caning materials will be provided
