WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE CHAIR CANING CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS!

Chair caning is in my blood.  My family has been caning since at least the mid-1800’s according to the written history.  I began caning in 2005 and since then, I have continuously sought out new styles, new weaves, and new projects.  I weave cane, rush, splint (or split) weaves in various styles, danish cord, and more!  All work is guaranteed, estimates are free, and pick-up/delivery services are available.
