The Wicker Woman

Best wishes and God’s blessings for a Merry Christmas! And may the joy, peace and happiness of the season follow you throughout the coming New Year!

Thank you for supporting my chair caning, wicker repair and basketry website for all these years, and please some back often to see all the additions and changes!

The Wicker Woman-Cathryn Peters

The SeatWeavers’ Guild official website at SeatWeaversGuild.org recently made a major update, adding several new pages and additional information about the first ever guild of its kind in North America.

One of our main purposes is to help educate the public and members on these nearly lost arts of chair caning and wicker repair; so they don’t really become lost to us entirely.

Read more about this unique and innovative group and join as a member or supporter of this fine historical craft.

And be sure to “SAVE THE DATE” for our 2nd Annual Meeting and Workshop on July 31-August 3, 2009. Posted both at the guild website and here on WickerWoman.com on the Events Calendar page.

There have been a tons of updates on the Events Calendar page to include basketry workshops and conventions taking place all over the country.

Look for the updated times, places and teachers in February, April, July, September, October, and November just to mention a few! You’re always sure to find something interesting on WickerWoman.com!
