Reclaim your favorite chair. Participants will bring their own chairs and learn how to ready them for repair; select the proper size cane; and, in seven steps, restore the original seat pattern. Or, depending upon your chair, learn the fiber-rush method of weaving using twisted rush to weave from the outside of a frame toward the center. Upon registration, students will arrange with Peter to examine chairs before the class to determine appropriate materials and any necessary repairs.

All materials provided. Maximum class size: 6

PETER WILSON has worked in cabinetmaking and antique-furniture restoration since 1972. His work involves all aspects of wood repair and replacement and often requires making missing parts of a piece.
