Description

Got an old chair or stool that's in good shape but has a broken seat? In this class you can bring it back to useful life by learning the basic weaving pattern called fiber rush weave. You'll make a sturdy, long-lasting—and comfortable!—seat of rush weave using an all natural, paper-based fiber rush. Your instructor will show you how to make tight, square corners, and perfect a figure eight weaving pattern.

You'll leave not only with a beautiful new hand-woven seat that will last for generations, but also knowing how to repair chairs in the future, or the rest of a set of chairs.
